Lymphadenectomy using two instrument arms during robotic surgery for gastric cancer: A strategy to facilitate reduced-port robotic gastrectomy.

CONCLUSION: Gastric cancer surgery using two instrument arms of a robotic surgical system can be performed by surgeons with expertise of RPLG. If this technique is successfully introduced in robotic surgery, it is expected to shorten the path to pure single-port robotic gastrectomy. PMID: 31227438 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
