[VIDEO] Port placement side docking
Employing a separate 5-mm conventional laparoscope via the assistant port allows for safe placement of robotic ports and instruments under direct laparoscopic visualization. The robotic ports are generally placed such that they are in a straight line to minimize arms clashing. The ports are generally placed at the level of the umbilicus. They should, however, be adjusted cephalad, to accommodate complex surgical cases such as large fibroids, obese patients, or para-aortic lymph node dissection.

Similar outcomes from A-repair vs paravaginal repair reported
November 11th 2024In a recent study, similar postoperative outcomes were reported in patients receiving anterior vaginal wall repair vs paravaginal repair for laparoscopic pelvic organ prolapse, including similar success rates.
