Proposal of set-up standardization for general surgery procedures with the CMR Versius system, a new robotic platform: our initial experience.
Langenbeck's Archives of Surgery 2024 April 4
BACKGROUND: The article describes our initial experience using CMR Versius platform for several procedures in general surgery.
METHODS: Between September 2022 and April 2023, seventy patients underwent robotic surgery in a multi-robotic referral center (San Paolo University Hospital, Milan, Italy). Three surgeons with only laparoscopic experience performed 24 cholecystectomies, 13 inguinal hernia repairs, 9 ventral hernia repairs, 7 right hemicolectomies, 11 left hemicolectomies, 1 sigmoidectomy, 1 ileocecal resection, 1 ventral rectopexy, 1 Nissen fundoplication, 1 total splenectomy, and 1 exploration with multiple biopsies.
RESULTS: All surgeries were full-robotic, with only one conversion to laparoscopy. The short length of stay and low rate of severe morbidity are promising findings. Although operative time was lengthened, clinical outcomes were not affected.
CONCLUSIONS: Our experience demonstrates that the adoption of Versius system is safe and feasible in general surgery. The standardization of port placement and BSU set-up can certainly reduce the operative time.
