A novel approach for robotic mobilization of the splenic flexure

ConclusionsThe described novel approach demonstrates total robotic splenic flexure takedown without excessive traction, with improved visualization, and reduction of potential risk of splenic injury. This approach provides totally robotic mobilization of the splenic flexure at single docking without changing the patient ’s position.
