Hypothesis
The double bipolar method (DBM) can enhance the precision and outcomes of laparoscopic partial cystectomy using the Senhance robotic system.
Conclusion
The DBM technique with the Senhance system allows for precise and bloodless bladder wall resection.
Supporting Evidence
- The Senhance robotic system allows for precise and cost-effective procedures.
- The double bipolar method enables simultaneous use of bipolar instruments for better control.
- The patient had an uncomplicated recovery and was discharged on the eighth postoperative day.
Takeaway
Doctors used a special robot to help remove a tumor from a patient's bladder without causing any bleeding, making the surgery easier and safer.
Methodology
A 62-year-old female underwent a Senhance-assisted laparoscopic partial cystectomy using the double bipolar method with 3 mm instruments.
Limitations
This is a single case report, limiting the generalizability of the findings.
Participant Demographics
One 62-year-old female patient with a body mass index of 40.8 kg/m2.
