Ultra Radical Procedures - Surgical Film Festival-Presentation Recording

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The first video transcript presents a robotically assisted exonerative procedure for a patient with recurrent vulvar cancer. The surgery was performed using a minimally invasive approach with robotic arms, involving various dissections and transections. The surgeon emphasizes that the procedure can also be done via open surgery or standard laparoscopic instrumentation. The video provides insights into the steps and techniques involved in the pelvic exonerative procedure.<br /><br />In the second video, Dr. Payan Kashi presents three cases of robotic-assisted pelvic exonerations in patients with advanced cervical cancer and fistulas in a radiated field. The surgeries were performed using a robotic surgery system, with the surgical approach tailored to each patient's fibrosis and radiation damage. The surgical steps included identifying the ureters, dissecting the bladder, transecting the urethra, and creating a rectovaginal space. Closure was done using V-lock sutures. The surgeries were successful with acceptable operative times and blood loss, but there were complications of postoperative infections in two patients.<br /><br />Overall, both videos highlight the use of robotic-assisted surgery in pelvic exonerations for patients with gynecological cancers. The importance of careful surgical planning and technique is emphasized in patients with fibrosis and radiation damage.
