Description
Summary:On the day of surgery after appropriate age-specific preparation of the theatre, general anaesthesia was induced and the trachea was intubated with a 3-mm Microcuff® polyurethane endotracheal tube (ETT). Postoperatively, feeding was resumed after 2 h. Pelvic robotic surgeries including urological procedures offer an added advantage and better surgical access compared to conventional laparoscopic surgery. PRS offers other challenges such as restricted access to the patient once docking of robotic arms has taken place. [...]all airway, IV and monitoring tubes and lines should be properly secured prior to draping and docking.
