Reduced-port robotic extended cholecystectomy using the da Vinci Single Port system for gallbladder cancer: a case report with video.

Abstract

This study aims to present the surgical technique and clinical outcomes of reduced-port robotic extended cholecystectomy using the da Vinci Single Port (SP) system (Intuitive Surgical) in a patient diagnosed with gallbladder cancer. The da Vinci SP surgical system was employed to perform a reduced-port robotic extended cholecystectomy in a patient with gallbladder cancer. Procedural details, operative time, estimated blood loss, and postoperative outcomes were documented and analyzed. The total operative time was 210 minutes, with an estimated blood loss of less than 400 mL. No intraoperative complications were reported. The patient had an uneventful recovery and was discharged on postoperative day 8. The da Vinci SP system appears to be a safe and feasible platform for performing reduced-port robotic extended cholecystectomy, with acceptable perioperative outcomes in appropriately selected patients.
