Robotic exoscope-assisted eversion carotid endarterectomy. 2-dimensional operative video

Eversion carotid endarterectomy is a well-established alternative for the treatment of atherosclerotic stenosis of the carotid bifurcation. The incorporation of robotic exoscopes provides high-definition three-dimensional visualization with potential ergonomic and educational advantages. We present the technique of robotic exoscope-assisted eversion carotid endarterectomy, emphasizing vascular exposure, complete en bloc removal of the atherosclerotic plaque, arterial reconstruction, and strategies to minimize complications. The robotic exoscope provides excellent visualization during vascular dissection and reconstruction, allowing the eversion technique to be performed safely and reproducibly.
