Solo surgeon ambulatory magnetic-assisted robotic surgery (MARS): initial 51 cases with high patient satisfaction
This study demonstrates the safety and feasibility of the MARS platform for use in outpatient reduced port laparoscopic cholecystectomy by a solo surgeon with high patient satisfaction. MARS was particularly useful for simultaneous gallbladder retraction and laparoscopic camera manipulation by the operating surgeon, thus eliminating the need for a surgical assistant.
