percentage of laparoscopic colectomies performed in the USA range from 40 to 45 % and for laparoscopic rectal resection range from 10 to 15 % [10, 11].
Initially, laparoscopic colectomy took longer and was more expensive than con­ventional open colectomy. However, with time, it proved to offer significant advan­tages to the patient, including quicker return of bowel function, less post operative pain, shorter hospital stay, and lower postoperative morbidity and mortality [5]. Robotic surgery purportedly offers advantages to overcome the limitations of lapa­roscopic surgery [2]. Some surgeons believe this could lead to wider use of mini­mally invasive surgery techniques for colorectal resections [12].
Robotics for colorectal surgery has been shown to be safe and feasible, and periop­erative and pathologic outcomes appear to be equivalent to laparoscopic surgery. However, most authors believe that the robot will have the greatest impact on rectal resection [2, 12]. It seems ideally suited for pelvic dissection, where the superior visu­alization and articulating instruments facilitate exposure, retraction, and difficult dis­section. It is hypothesized that these advantages will result in lower conversion rates and higher rates of adoption. Furthermore, possible advantages of better mesorectal excision, better preservation of nerves, and easier operation in the obese are all areas of ongoing investigation. But, for partial colectomy, the benefits are more difficult to foresee. In the literature, modest advantages in visualization and possibly decreased blood loss seem to be offset by longer operative times and higher costs thus far [4, 13].
If nothing else, robotic right colectomy is an ideal case for a surgeon’s initial experience with robotic techniques [3]. It is a familiar procedure to general and colorectal surgeons alike. It is technically easier than other colon procedures with relatively short operative times. It is commonly used as learning and/or teaching tool. It is a procedure that is easily converted to either laparoscopic or open colec­tomy with relatively little clinical consequence.
The indications and setting for right colectomy are well described and include benign and malignant conditions, elective, urgent, and emergent operations. Benign conditions include: inflammatory bowel disease, volvulus, diverticular disease, arte­riovenous malformations, ischemic colitis, and polyps not amenable to endoscopic removal. Adenocarcinoma, carcinoid tumor, and appendiceal tumors account for most malignant diseases. Surgery for the right colon is usually elective. However, urgent indications include nearly obstructing lesions, ischemic colitis, and hemor­rhage. There are only a few emergent indications, with perforation, complete obstruction, and refractory hemorrhage the most common [14].

Technique

1. Room setup and patient positioning
Our three-arm technique for robotic right colectomy with intracorporeal anasto­mosis has been previously described [15]. We modified this technique from the description by Crawford et al. [8]. The patient is under general anesthesia in the supine position. Room setup is shown in Fig. 4.1. Pneumoperitoneum can be

achieved with a Veress needle. As an alternative, open laparoscopic entry (Hasson technique) or visual entry systems (Optiview/Visiport) can be used per surgeon’s preference. Patient positioning is performed just prior to docking the robot. The table is positioned in 10–20° of reverse Trendelenburg and 15–30° of right side up to allow the small intestine to fall away from the midline (Fig. 4.2a–c).
Some authors prefer 10–15° of Trendelenburg so that the terminal ileum is better exposed for dissection of the pelvic brim. This is an important point that is best addressed at the time of initial evaluation by laparoscopy. If the terminal ileum is fixed in the right lower quadrant, it may be difficult to free the bowel in a fixed table position with the patient in Trendelenburg. We recommend early evaluation in order to be able to complete this portion of the operation with the robot. Alternatively, the terminal ileum can be freed laparoscopically. Occasionally, it may be necessary to undock the robot in order to change the table position so that lysis of adhesions can be completed by either laparoscopic or robotic means.
Localization of the pathology is mandatory during the initial laparoscopic evalu­ation. Our preference is to have the lesion tattooed preoperatively. Therefore, for most right colectomies, the patient is supine and access to the perineum is not neces­sary. In select cases, the lithotomy position may be advantageous. For example, if intraoperative colonoscopy is necessary to check the anastomosis or confirm adequate removal of the pathology, access to the perineum is needed. Lithotomy position is preferred when transrectal or transvaginal extraction of the specimen will be performed. Finally, when the possibility of avoiding a resection exists, as in

colotomy and polypectomy, laparoscopic-guided polypectomy, or wedge resection of a benign lesion, the lithotomy position is used.
2. Port placement
The port placement for Si and Xi systems differ and diagrams are shown for the dif­ferent configurations (Figs. 4.3, 4.4, and 4.5). Our preferred port placement for a three­arm Si system technique is shown in Fig. 4.3a. It is specific for cases when the EndoWrist® Stapler 45 System (Intuitive Surgical, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA) is not available. When the EndoWrist® Stapler 45 System is available for use, we replace the left upper quadrant 8 mm port with the 13 mm stapler port. In this case, the assistant 12 mm port can be downsized to a 5 mm port as shown in Fig. 4.4a and b. Some authors prefer a four-arm Si technique and the common port configurations are shown in Fig. 4.5a and b.

Si Port Placement

An extra long 12 or 8.5 mm periumbilical port for the camera is placed, usually 2 cm below and 2 cm lateral to the umbilicus (depending on the patient’s body habitus). A left upper quadrant and suprapubic 8 mm robotic trochars are placed for arms 1 (R1)

and 2 (R2). Five mm robotic trochars and arms can be used, but this limits the instru­ment options and degrees of articulation with today’s available instrumentation, and, therefore, we prefer 8 mm ports at this time. In cases of polyps or tumors, the lesion is localized prior to docking the robot using a 5 mm laparoscope, which is always available. The table is then positioned in 10–20° of reverse Trendelenburg and 20–30° of right side up to allow the small intestine to fall away from the midline. The robot is docked from the patient’s right side or over the right shoulder. Although this chapter describes a three-arm technique below, a fourth arm can be added intraopera­tively if needed. An additional port (R3) can be added to the right lower quadrant or the subxiphoid area (see Fig. 4.5a and b). In select cases, particularly in the obese patient, it may be advantageous to start with a four-arm technique to facilitate the procedure.

Xi Port Placement

H.J. Lujan et al.
There are two port placement options that can be utilized with the Xi system depend­ing on whether extracorporeal or intracorporeal anastomosis is performed. The port placement guidelines as published by Intuitive Surgical, Inc. for the da Vinci Xi is shown in Fig. 4.6. This is ideal for extracorporeal anastomosis. With this port con­figuration, any port site (typically the umbilical trochar site) can be extended and utilized as an extraction site. Incorporating trochar sites has cosmetic advantages.
For intracorporeal anastomosis, we recommend a modification as shown in Figs. 4.7 and 4.8. This diagonal orientation extends from a port placed midline and 4–6 cm above the pubis. The diagonal now proceeds to the splenic flexure at 6–8 cm intervals. The fourth port is the 13 mm stapler port. As will be shown, this port can later be used as the extraction site if cosmesis is not important. An assistant 5 mm port can be placed equidistant from ports 3 and 4 or 2 and 3 depending on the patient’s

body habitus. For situations where the robotic EndoWrist
Stapler 45 System is not available, only four 8 mm robotic ports and a 12 mm assistant port are used as shown in Fig. 4.8. In this case, a 12 mm assistant port is necessary for bowel transection and creation of the intracorporeal anastomosis utilizing standard endoscopic staplers.
With the Xi system, the port configurations when placed in a line allow the most consistent performance of the entire operation [16]. The line should extend from 4 cm above the pubis in the midline toward the splenic flexure with ports placed

6–10 cm apart (see Fig. 4.7). Slight angulation away from the hepatic flexure pro­vides in-line viewing of and access to a greater length of the proximal transverse colon. Further, moving the line of ports off the midline to the patient’s left facilitates dissection of the ileocolic pedicle. For complete mesocolic excision with central vessel ligation moving the entire line of ports further toward the patient’s left will enable access to the middle colic vessels along with more length of the transverse colon. Midline ports (placed along the linea alba) would lie directly above the ileo­colic origin and might make its dissection more challenging. The assistant port is placed in the left lateral mid-abdomen.

Since the robotic EndoWrist
Stapler 45 System was not yet available for the Xi at the time of this publication, it is recommended to add a 12 mm assistant port in the left lateral mid-abdomen for an intracorporeal anastomosis with a laparoscopic stapler. For an extracorporeal anastomosis, the port placement line can be through the umbilicus and linea alba (Fig. 4.6) with the port for arm 2 being placed at the umbilicus (which can be extended later for bowel exteriorization/specimen extrac­tion). When the robotic stapler is available, a 13 mm port for arm 4 placed in the left

upper abdomen is needed for the insertion of the robotic EndoWrist
stapler for
intracorporeal anastomosis creation.

arm 2; Monopolar Scissors (hot shears), Permanent Cautery Hook, or EndoWrist® One™ Vessel Sealer device in arm 3; and a Tip-Up fenestrated grasper or Small Graptor in arm 4 (see Table 4.1). The Xi has to a great extent eliminated issues with arm collisions. So, although we advocate a three-arm technique with the Si system, we have adapted our technique to include all four arms with Xi.
3. Technique/procedure
The robotic camera is inserted through the 8.5 mm periumbilical port. The assis­tant surgeon uses a lateral 12 mm port to introduce laparoscopic instruments, energy devices, endoscopic staplers, and suction as needed. Using the bipolar fenestrated grasper (R2) and the hot shears (R1), a medial-to-lateral (MtL) dissection is real­ized. The port placement is as shown in Fig. 4.3. First, the assistant surgeon grasps the ileocecal junction (IJ) to place the ileocolic vascular pedicle on tension. It is critical to identify the cecum and ileocecal junction; this step cannot be over empha­sized (Fig. 4.9a). A small window is created posteriorly near the origin of the ileo­colic vessels. The dissection is continued for 2–3 cm to reveal the duodenum (Fig. 4.9b). Typically, the duodenum identifies the origin of the ileocolic artery. A second window is created to isolate the base of the vascular pedicle. It is divided at the level of the duodenum with a vascular stapler load on the endoscopic stapler, clips, or energy device, which are brought in through the left lateral 12 mm assistant port or the EndoWrist

The medial-to-lateral dissection is continued. The right mesocolon is mobilized off the retroperitoneum. This dissection is mostly blunt and accomplished by push­ing the mesocolon anteriorly and the retroperitoneum posteriorly. This can be advanced to the lateral attachments, to the liver and hepatic attachments, and to the

duodenal sweep as needed. The ileal mesentery is divided with an energy source or cautery to a point 8–10 cm from the ileocecal valve. Typically, two small vessels or branches will be encountered and can be divided with an energy device or

EndoWrist
One™ Vessel Sealer. The mesocolic mobilization is then carried up to the duodenum and the transverse mesocolon. The terminal ileum is transected with an endoscopic stapler or EndoWrist® Stapler 45 System. Next the right branch of the middle colic is identified and transected with the energy device or stapler. The ascending colon can be left attached to the right paracolic gutter to keep it from fall­ing medially or completely detached and the specimen placed above the liver for later retrieval (if the resection is for cancer, the specimen is placed in a bag). Lateral mobilization begins at the ileocecal junction along the right paracolic gutter and advanced to the hepatic flexure and along the right transverse colon. Sometimes omentum is removed with the specimen. Usually, the omentum is partially detached from the colon by dividing the gastrocolic ligament. The transverse colon is isolated by creating a mesenteric window and then divided with the endoscopic stapler or

Stapler 45 System.
Next, attention is turned to construction of an isoperistaltic, side-to-side ileoco­lic anastomosis. For this purpose, the terminal ileum and the transverse colon stump are brought together side by side as shown in Fig. 4.10. A 20 cm nonabsorb­able suture on a Keith needle is used to put a stay suture approximating the trans­verse colon and terminal ileum up to the abdominal wall to provide tension and elevate the site of the anastomosis. Prior to creating the enterotomies, an endo­scopic intestinal clamp (bulldog) can be placed on the terminal ileum to prevent spillage (not the author’s routine). Using an energy device or hot shears (author’s preference), a colotomy and ileotomy are created through which the jaws of the
®
endoscopic linear stapler or EndoWrist
Stapler 45 System are introduced to con­struct the common channel (Figs. 4.11 and 4.12). The remaining common enterot­omy is then closed with 2-0 vicryl in two running layers using robotic suturing techniques (Fig. 4.13).
Once complete, the stay suture is cut and then attention is directed again to the specimen. As an alternative, a complete robotic sewn anastomosis can be fashioned. If necessary, the remaining lateral and hepatic attachments are freed. A grasper with teeth or endoloop is introduced through the 12 mm left lateral port to hold the speci-
