Abstract

The technique of a single-port laparoscopy was developed over the last years as an attempt to lower surgical aggression and improve the aesthetic results of the minimally invasive surgery. A new robotic platform used with the da Vinci® Robotic System Single-Site System® (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, California, United States) was recently launched on the global market and is still not documented in Brazil. The authors report on the first four robotic single-port cholecystectomies performed with this da Vinci® Robotic System in Brazil.

A técnica de um único portal laparoscópico foi desenvolvida ao longo dos últimos anos, numa tentativa de diminuir a agressão cirúrgica e melhorar ainda mais os resultados estéticos da cirurgia minimamente invasiva. Uma nova plataforma robótica, usada com o Sistema Robótico da Vinci® Single-Site System ® (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, Califórnia, Estados Unidos), foi recentemente lançada no mercado mundial e é ainda inédita no Brasil. Os autores relatam as primeiras quatro colecistectomias robóticas com portal único realizadas com este Sistema Robótico da Vinci® no Brasil.
