Biography:

Dr T K Rajesh Since 1994 has been working in general surgery and have completed FRCS (Gen Sur/Colorectal) and EBSQ (Coloproctology). He is a Robotic and Colorectal Surgeon.

Abstract

Abstract

Introduction:

After the introduction of DaVinci Robotic System more and more general surgical procedures are performed using robo. Various energy devices are used for this purpose.

 

Methodology:

We used a monopolar hook, monopolar scissors and harmonic to perform rectal cancer resections. Each energy device has its own merits and demerits. We are presenting here the Anterior resection performed using all the 3 devices.

 

Results:

Dissection with monopolar scissors was more accurate and ergonomically efficient in a closed pelvic space.

 

Discussion:

If surgeons wanted a cost effective method of performing rectal cancer surgery , then, it is better to use monopolar scissors.
