Robotic Intracorporeal Anastomosis

Abstract

Robotic intracorporeal anastomosis is currently increasingly used for the performance of colorectal anastomosis. We describe the technical details for the proper performance of an iso- and anti-peristaltic anastomosis including the set up of the robotic platform and the performance of the anastomosis.

Keywords

robotic surgery - robotic intracorporeal anastomosis - isoperistaltic anastomosis - antiperistaltic anastomosis
