Robotic tubal anastomosis: Technical aspects

Abstract

Objectives: To describe the surgical technique of robotic tubal anastomosis. Methods: Retrospective chart and video review of the instrumentation and methodology used for obotically assisted tubal anastomosis. Results: All tubal anastomoses were performed with the use of 3 or 4 robotic arms, 3 or 4 robotic instruments, and 1 assistant trocar. Conclusions: Robotic technology facilitates the performance of robotic tubal anastomosis. © 2011 by JSLS, Journal of the Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons.
