A technique to relocate the robotic prostatectomy retrieval bag to the mid-line camera port

摘要

During robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy, the prostatectomy specimen is collected in an Endocatch~TM bag (Covidien, Mansfield, MA, USA), the silk suture of which exits the abdomen from a laterally placed 12-mm laparoscopic port. At the end of the procedure, the exit site of the silk suture needs to be moved to retrieve the specimen through the mid-line incision.
