Robotic Assisted Surgery Reimagined: Exploring the intersection of Economics, Indications, and Stapling Technology
This symposium follows a poster presented at STS, which reviewed the Premier database on the economics of bedside stapling. The panel will discuss justifications, indications, and future trends for bedside stapling in robotic-assisted surgery.
The faculty will examine specific tissue conditions and complications where a bedside stapling approach may be most effective, ensuring the optimal product is used in a robotic procedure to enhance patient outcomes.
Agenda for the Panel Discussion
- Examining the benefits of Bedside Hand Held Stapling during Robotic Thoracic Lobectomy and Segmentectomy
- Indications for hand-held bedside stapling: "A comprehensive review"
- Strategies, insights, and tools when considering a bedside stapling approach
- Weighing surgeon control and efficiency
- Overall cost
- Navigating the conversation to use a bedside approach with the OR team and administrators
