Initial Experience With a New Laparoscopic Based Robotically Assisted Surgical System for Cholecystectomy
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Senhance Assisted Cholecystectomy and Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy for Biliary Colic and Cholecystitis. Completed, enrolled 40 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The Senhance™ surgical robotic system, previously known as Telelap Alf-X (TransEnterix, Morrisville, NC, USA) has recently become available in the UK. It aims to provide the robotic benefits of greater accuracy, dexterity and control with similar operational costs to traditional laparoscopy. Patients randomly received either a standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy or the Senhance assisted cholecystectomy based on scheduled surgery date. A prospectively maintained database of the first 20 patients undergoing cholecystectomy with the Senhance Surgical System was retrospectively interrogated and compared to a concurrently treated group of 20 laparoscopically treated patients during the same timeframe.
