A New Silicon Sling Device for Traction During Robotic Gynecologic Surgery

Abstract

BACKGROUND: One of the challenges of robotic gynecologic surgery is the appropriate traction of the organs and other structures surrounding the surgical field. METHODS: for ureteral traction during robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical hysterectomy in five cervical cancer patients. RESULTS: during robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical hysterectomy in cervical cancer patients without causing any complications. The average time required for this procedure was less than 5 min. CONCLUSIONS: , which can be used for organ traction during robotic surgery. This new device allows easy ureteral traction, facilitate the identification of ureter and prevent ureteral injuries during robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical hysterectomy.
