Hand-assisted robotic surgery in the abdominal phase of robot-assisted oesophagectomy
Robot-assisted minimally invasive oesophagectomy (RAMIE) has been developed to overcome the technical limitations of conventional thoracoscopic oesophagectomy.Hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery (HALS) is used as a practical and useful technique during the abdominal phase of thoracoscopic oesophagectomy.During RAMIE, a robotic vessel Wall Brackets s
