Case report demonstrates a standardized workflow for simultaneous surgery in a combined gastric and colorectal cancer procedure.
INTRODUCTION: Synchronous gastric and colorectal cancers occur in approximately 4% of patients. Although simultaneous resection is common in laparoscopic surgery, robot-assisted simultaneous procedures are less frequently reported because of logistical constraints in multi-quadrant targeting and port geometry. Herein, we describe a standardized and reproducible workflow using the da Vinci Xi system (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) that focuses on strategic port sharing and planned redocking.
