This surgical video article demonstrates that using a robotic exoscope provides high-definition 3D visualization and ergonomic advantages to safely and reproducibly perform eversion carotid endarterectomy.
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.

Ávila et al. (2026) conducted a case report in Atherosclerotic carotid artery stenosis (n=1). Robotic exoscope-assisted eversion carotid endarterectomy was evaluated on Successful en bloc plaque removal and vascular patency confirmed by intraoperative Doppler ultrasound. Robotic exoscope-assisted eversion carotid endarterectomy safely achieved complete plaque removal and confirmed patency with 15-20 minutes of ischemia time in a patient with 65% ICA and 70% CCA stenosis.
