Positioning in the Upside Arm Adducted (UAA) position. This position maximizes access to the abdomen while avoiding robotic interference with the patient's arm.
This illustrates port placement with the second assist port placed above the umbilicus and slightly lateral of midline. The lower assistant port is in the lower midline. Final positions are always determined after abdominal access, insufflation and camera port placement.
Direct insertion trocar placement. The trocar is placed directly into the decompressed abdomen and connected to CO2 insufflation. Once the peritoneal cavity develops the port may be pushed further in to the abdomen. (ENDOPATH® XCEL™ Bladeless Trocar, Ethicon Endosurgery)
The 5-mm subxiphoid port is used to place a blunt grasper under the liver for this right-sided case and elevate it.
The colon is released from the lateral abdominal wall.
The anterior pararenal space is defined. Gerota fascia is not entered at this point.
The renal artery is freed from periarterial tissue.
The tumor is free of Gerota fascia with a generous margin of clear capsule surrounding it. Overlying fat is left attached.
The assistant places two "Bulldog" vascular clamps on the renal artery.
The initial phase of the resection is performed. Knowledge of the intrarenal anatomy of the tumor allows incision near the base; initial scissor orientation is straight down with tips away.
After reaching an appropriate depth, the scissors are turned and the base of the resection developed beneath the tumor.
A running suture, begun outside the resection bed, is placed to oversew collecting system and vascular structures. The authors prefer V-Lok suture, which is cut without tying.
Hemostatic agent and Surgicel are placed in the renal defect and 0 polyglactin on a CT-1 used to begin capsular closure.
Further capsular sutures are placed and tensioned with Hem-o-lok clips. Lapra-tys are then used to complete this "sliding-clip" renorrhaphy.
