ALF-X teleassisted surgery
Intervention Description
Patients placed in the dorsal lithotomic position with both legs supported in Allen stirrups with a Trendelenburg tilt. After achieving pneumoperitoneum (12mmHg) through a trans umbilical open access technique, intra-abdominal visualization was obtained with a 10mm 0° HD 3D telescope. During the trocar placement the operative room nurses supported the surgeon in the docking procedures approaching the robotic arms to the operative table, in places established for pelvic surgery. The cockpit is located in one corner of our square shape room; the operative table is surrounded by the three robotic arms unit. Through the teleassisted operative ports we could make use of several type of instruments. Movements of both instruments and optic were completely carried out by the surgeon from the cockpit according to the needs of the procedure.
