Robotic surgery with the Da Vinci Xi: simultaneous upper and lower tract surgery

Journal of Robotic Surgery volume 11, pages 373–374 (2017)Cite this article

Abstract

The evolution of robotic platforms has continued to advance the field and improve outcomes. We review the literature regarding the use of the Da Vinci Xi for simultaneous upper and lower tract surgery, examining outcomes. In colusion, the Xi has allowed evolution of technique and surgical outcomes.
