Abstract
Conventional laparoscopic or robotic surgery for right-sided colon cancer often requires intraoperative repositioning and removal of the bowel. Changing positions during robotic surgery can be troublesome and robotic removal of the small intestine carries a risk of unexpected injury because robotic devices have a strong grasping force and no sense of touch. Herein, we introduce a novel mobilization of the medial approach without changing the position for robotic right hemicolectomy. Using this technique, mobilization is performed in counterclockwise succession, allowing all mobilizations and bowel removal to be completed sequentially, without positional change.
