Uniportal Robotic Surgery: A Step-by-Step Guide to Setup by Diego Gonzalez Rivas

Diego Gonzalez Rivas and Mugurel Bosânceanu visited James Cook University Hospital in the UK in order to demonstrate the novel technique of uniportal thoracic robotic surgery that they have been developing since September 2021. In this video, Diego and Mugurel go through their technique for setting up the robotic system, how to place the ports, and how to set up the arms to eliminate the possible clashing of the robotic system.
