This was a lot of fun to record. An honest discussion of the transformative power of regionalized single site robotics - both pluses and minuses. @mdstifelman and I have witnessed a lot of radical change in the MIS world over the past 20 years but somehow SP hits harder than most. Really the third revolution in MIS.
Using a "swoop" technique can ease your transition to low anterior retroperitoneal access with the da Vinci SP. Simple, fast and very reproducible case to case. Here's a short video explanation on a right sided partial nephrectomy. Sound on. Lets go!
SP robot is so versatile. Pyelolithomy for three renal pelvis stones, each 1.5cm. Retroperitoneal approach via low anterior incision. Easy access to anterior kidney. Better than PCNL?
