AI Article Synopsis
- A pilot study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of telerobotic surgery using the da Vinci system compared to traditional laparoscopy or thoracoscopy.
- The study included various surgical procedures, totaling 276 cases, across different types of surgeries, including hiatal hernia repairs, cholecystectomies, and lobectomies.
- Results showed a significant reduction in setup time for surgeries, with no related morbidity from the telerobotic system, demonstrating the feasibility and safety of this approach.
Article Abstract
Purpose: We set up a pilot study to evaluate the efficacy of telerobotic surgery using the da Vinci system for several procedures for which traditional laparoscopy (or thoracoscopy) is a standard approach in a single institution.
Methods: We performed fundoplications (hiatal hernia repair and antireflux surgery, n=112), upside-down stomach (14), cholecystectomy (16), gastric banding (3), colectomy (5), esophagectomy (4), sub/total gastrectomy (2), gastrojejunostomy (2), along with thymectomy (100), thoracic symatectomy (11), lobectomy (5), mediastinal parathyroidectomy (5), and left pancreatic resection (1).
Results: The median set up time for all procedures was reduced from 25.0 to 10.4 minutes. Conversion to traditional laparoscopy or thoracoscopy occurred in 12 cases and in open surgery in 11 cases. There was no morbidity related to the telerobotic system.
Conclusions: Robotically assisted laparoscopic and thoracoscopic surgery is feasible and safe for a variety of procedures in general, visceral, and thoracic surgery.

Introduction: There is a risk of iatrogenic vascular injuries during robotic-assisted laparoscopic excision of diaphragmatic endometriosis. Although studies are limited, the first reported case of a suprahepatic inferior vena cava (IVC) injury during robotic diaphragmatic endometriosis excision was successfully treated using a fibrin sealant patch, preventing exsanguination and conversion to laparotomy.
Case Description: A 36-year-old female with a history of recurrent catamenial pneumothorax and two prior video-assisted thoracoscopic surgeries to treat diaphragmatic endometriosis presented to our clinic with right-sided shoulder pain and a chest tube in place.

Rationale: Pheochromocytomas typically arise in the adrenal medulla, whereas ectopic pheochromocytomas/paragangliomas commonly occur near the abdominal aorta, bladder, mediastinum, and head. Diaphragmatic pheochromocytomas are exceedingly rare, and there is limited surgical experience with their treatment.
Patient Concerns: In Case A, the subject is a 45-year-old male, while in Case B, the subject is a 59-year-old female.
