Objective: To explore the methodology and operative essentials of laparoscopic cholecystectomy with remote Zeus surgical robotic system.

Methods: Based on strict training and successful experiment in animal model of swine, laparoscopic cholecystectomy using Zeus robotic system was performed on 16 patients with biliary diseases, including choledocholithiasis, cholelithiasis, polyposis of gallbladder, and chronic cholecystitis, 10 males and 16 females, aged 33 (14 approximately 27), 26 April to 31 August 2004. The general data, preoperative preparation time, operation time, amount of bleeding, complications, and hospitalization time were analyzed.
