Abstract
MANDHANI, Anil; BERRYHILL JR., Roy and TEWARI, Ash K.. Athermal robotic technique of radical prostatectomy: an assistant´s. Arch. Esp. Urol. [online]. 2007, vol.60, n.4, pp.375-382. ISSN 0004-0614.
Robotic radical prostatectomy is fast getting popular as an alternative to the open and laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. Planning for port placement and the assistants role are the two crucial yardsticks for the success of this procedure. Ideal port placement for radical robotic prostatectomy is not only crucial for the surgeon at the console but also for the patient side assistant. A better assistance could enhance the functional outcome of the procedure and at the same time could increase the comfort level of the surgeon at the console. This article describes the role of an assistant in robotic radical prostatectomy.
Keywords : Robotic radical prostatectomy; Port placement; Assistant; Fourth arm.
