Gastroparesis in a chronic setting is a disorder that results in diminished quality of life. Laparoscopic gastric electrical stimulator (GES) placement is now being performed in patients with medically refractory gastroparesis. During this procedure, a significant amount of suturing is required to anchor the electrodes to the gastric wall. Robotic surgery may provide surgeons with several technical and ergonomic advantages during this procedure, when compared with a standard laparoscopic approach. The aim of this study is to present a case and review the technique and literature for robotic placement of GES. This report demonstrates the safety and feasibility of robotic GES placement.
慢性胃轻瘫是一种会导致生活质量下降的病症。目前，腹腔镜胃电刺激器（GES）植入手术正在为难治性胃轻瘫患者实施。在此手术过程中，需要大量缝合操作将电极固定于胃壁。与标准腹腔镜手术方法相比，机器人手术在此过程中可能为外科医生提供若干技术和人体工程学优势。本研究的目的是呈现一例病例，并回顾机器人植入GES的技术及相关文献。本报告证明了机器人植入GES的安全性和可行性。
