V-OG03 Robotic Epiphrenic Diverticulectomy, Myotomy And Hiatus Hernia Repair

Abstract Background Oesophageal epiphrenic diverticulum’s are rare; reported in less than 0.5 per cent of the population. They noted however 1–3 patients complaining dysphagia. almost always associated with a motility disorder oesophagus. Surgery is generally only solution to help symptoms dysphagia and reflux. Methods This video highlights case moderate sized diverticulum causing significant The procedure was performed on DaVinci X system; my knowledge, this first time technique has been UK. A 4 arm used, utilising two right arms one left. Instruments used were cadiere forceps, hook sureform stapler. 12 mm port docked 3 sited stapled diverticulectomy Sureform blue cartridge. An endoflex retract liver. Results successfully 150 minutes involved resection diverticulum, hiatal repair short myotomy up neck diverticulum. Conclusion robotic platform allows for better visualisation structures vagal nerves enhanced magnification make safer myotomy. articulating instruments permit dissection makes easier perform.
