Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:Complex laparoscopic procedures in urology are technically demanding with an extended learning curve. Robotic systems add significant cost to laparoscopic procedures. We therefore evaluated the use of the Radius Surgical System (RSS), a mechanical manipulator, for complex laparoscopic cases in urology. MATERIAL AND METHODS:The RSS (Tuebingen Scientific) consists of two hand-guided surgical manipulators and provides a deflectable and rotatable tip allowing six degrees of freedom. We evaluated the system by using a series of standardized models in the pelvitrainer. We analyzed the effectiveness of the system and the learning curve. We then evaluated the system in the clinical setting during laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. RESULTS:Surgeons with experience on the RSS were compared to surgeons without previous experience on the system. We identified a learning curve in those participants without experience on the system only when performing complete anastomoses in the pelvitrainer. However, this learning curve included less than 10 anastomoses. The first clinical experiences during laparoscopic extraperitoneal radical prostatectomy (n=10) are promising. All anastomoses were patent on routine (X-ray) examination 8 days after surgery. CONCLUSIONS:The RSS system is easy to use and we identified a very short learning curve. We now optimize the system for use in urology. This device may facilitate complex laparoscopic procedures without the use of costly robotic systems and should be further evaluated in the experimental and clinical setting.
