Single-port robotic left colectomy: first clinical experience using the SP robot (rSILS).

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe single-port daVinci robot is a new platform designed to facilitate single-incision surgeries. The objective of this study was to describe the first clinical experience in colorectal surgery using a novel single-port robotic system and report its feasibility and safety.
methodsAfter Institutional Review Board approval was obtained and the study was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, we performed single port robot-assisted left colectomy using the novel daVinci SP surgical system on two patients. The surgeries were completed through a single incision. The multichannel port accommodates a three-dimensional articulating camera and three double-jointed articulating instruments. The primary aim of this study was to report, for the first time in the USA, the technical feasibility of the procedure in the living human. The secondary aim was to report the outcomes including blood loss, number of incisions, number of dockings, docking time of the robot, incision length, operative time, console time, need for additional port and instrumentation, intraoperative complications, morbidity and mortality, time for tolerating diet, bowel function, and discharge.
resultsBoth surgeries were completed without conversion through a single incision, 4.0 and 4.5 cm in size. Estimated blood loss was less than 60 ml in both cases. The robot was docked two and three times. Mean time to dock was 13 min (range 3-33 min). There were no intraoperative complications, no morbidity or death. Discharges occurred on postoperative days 2 and 3.
conclusionsSingle-port robotic colectomy using the new robot is feasible and can be safely completed. The overall utility and functionality of the SP robot portends wide utilization and expansion of this technique. Careful development and analysis of the procedure outcomes, training, and cost will be necessary to properly advance the field.
