Similar Operative Outcomes between the da Vinci Xi((R)) and da Vinci Si-(R) Systems in Robotic Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer

摘要

Purpose: The robotic system for surgery was introduced to gastric cancer surgery in the early 2000s to overcome the shortcomings of laparoscopic surgery. The more recently introduced da Vinci Xi((R)) system offers benefits allowing four-quadrant access, greater range of motion, and easier docking through an overhead boom rotation with laser targeting. We aimed to identify whether the Xi((R)) system provides actual advantages over the Si-(R) system in gastrectomy for gastric cancer by comparing the operative outcomes.
