As a result, much research is presently focused on finding an ideal donor site that results in good clinical outcomes while avoiding iatrogenic lymphedema of the donor area.</p><p>The omental flap with its lymph nodes based on the right gastroepiploic vessels that has been described for the treatment of lymphedema in the extremities avoids donor site lymphedema of the extremities. Harvesting this flap laparoscopically further reduces the donor site morbidity [<xref rid="B1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref><xref rid="B2" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>].</p><p>Robotic surgery has gained popularity in numerous surgical specialties, including plastic surgery [<xref rid="B3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref><xref rid="B4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>], due to its advantages over laparoscopic and endoscopic techniques. Herein, we report a novel application of robotic surgery for the harvest of a right gastroepiploic lymph node flap (RGE-LNF) for the treatment of lymphedema of the extremities. To the best of our knowledge, the application of a robotic technique for the harvest of this flap has not been reported in the literature.</p><p>A 55-year-old woman presenting with left lower extremity lymphedema and unsatisfactory outcomes following conservative treatment was offered surgical management with RGE-LNF transfer. All aspects of the various options for flap harvest were explained to her, including the open, laparoscopic, and robot-assisted techniques. The patient was comfortable with the robotic option and gave consent for the Da Vinci Surgical System (Intuitive Surgical Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, USA) to be used for flap harvest (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">Supplemental Video S1</xref>, which demonstrates the robotic RGE- LNF harvest).</p><p>An experienced general surgeon trained in robotic surgery performed the harvest of the flap with guidance from the plastic surgery team. One 12-mm supraumbilical port was created with an optical trocar for camera placement. After abdomen insufflation, two 8-mm ports were inserted at least 8 cm laterally from and 5 cm below the supraumbilical port, one on the right and the other over the left lower abdomen. Finally, a 5-mm assistance port was inserted in the epigastric region slightly cephalad to the camera port and midway between the camera and the right-side port. The RGE-LNF is based on the right gastroepiploic artery and vein (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">Fig. 1</xref>). Exploration was started by identifying the omental attachment to the greater curvature of the stomach and transverse colon, followed by identification of the right gastroepiploic vessels. Flap dissection was initiated by detaching the omentum from the transverse colon. The vertical gastric branches at the cranial aspect of the flap were serially ligated while maintaining a flap width of approximately 5 cm. The craniocaudal dissection was completed, keeping the flap centered on the vascular pedicle. Dissection then proceeded to the left subcostal region where the left gastroepiploic vessels were ligated. Special attention was paid to include the lymph nodes, lymphatics, and the surrounding omental tissue during the flap harvest (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">Fig. 2</xref>). A flap with a length of 10 cm was dissected up to the origin of the right gastroepiploic vessels, remaining parallel to the greater curvature of the stomach. Finally, the right gastroepiploic artery and vein were carefully dissected, isolated, and ligated. The total time of flap harvest was 55 minutes. The flap was then exteriorized and transferred to the lymphedematous recipient site (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">Fig. 3</xref>). Under the operating microscope, the flap was minimally trimmed at the margins, avoiding any damage to the lymphatic tissue witin the flap. Microsurgical anastomoses were performed at the ankle level using the medial plantar vessels in an end-to-end fashion after adequate vessel preparation (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F4">Fig. 4</xref>). The procedure was uneventful and the patient remained comfortable during the perioperative period.</p><p>The use of robotic surgery technologies, such as the Da Vinci system, has increased in various fields, and the distinct advantages of robotic surgery have been widely reported in the literature [<xref rid="B4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>]. Likewise, when comparing the robot-assisted technique with the laparoscopic approach for the RGE-LNF harvest, we noted that the robot-assisted intraperitoneal approach had specific advantages. The three-dimensional optics of the Da Vinci system allowed superior visualization of the anatomy. Accurate bloodless dissection was possible due to the extremely precise platform, tremor elimination, and significant motion scaling. This was particularly important since the RGE-LNF is small, and the robotic intervention allowed preservation of the lymph nodes and the fine lymphatic channels close to the vascular pedicle. In addition, it also aided in the artery and vein dissection before the final flap pedicle division.</p><p>Robot-assisted harvest of the RGE-LNF is feasible and reproducible. It represents an alternative method for flap harvest and paves the way for use of this approach for harvesting other intra-abdominal organs and tissues for reconstructive surgery. This may prove useful for patients who desire the application of the latest technology and less invasive procedures in their treatment, with the possibility of improved outcomes. It offers technical advantages over endoscopic harvesting and provides better cosmesis when compared to the open surgical technique.</p><p>Some factors may limit the use of robotic interventions, such as increased cost, a steep learning curve, and increased operating time. However, the distinct advantages of this innovative surgical approach, such as tremor elimination, motion scaling, high-resolution three-dimensional optics, and superior ergonomics, make a compelling case for the expansion of its application in problem-solving specialties, including plastic and reconstructive surgery.</p></body><back><fn-group><fn fn-type="other"><p>This article contains supplemental Video S1.</p></fn><fn fn-type="conflict"><p>All authors hereby declare no potential conflict of interest and that they did not receive funding for this work from any of the following organizations: National Institutes of Health (NIH), Wellcome Trust, Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI), and other(s).</p><p>No potential conflict of interest relevant to this article was reported.</p></fn></fn-group><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1</label><element-citation publication-type="journal"><person-group person-group-type="author"><name><surname>Ciudad</surname><given-names>P</given-names></name><name><surname>Maruccia</surname><given-names>M</given-names></name><name><surname>Socas</surname><given-names>J</given-names></name><etal></etal></person-group><article-title>The laparoscopic right gastroepiploic lymph node flap transfer for upper and lower limb lymphedema: technique and outcomes</article-title><source>Microsurgery</source><year>2015</year><month>7</month><day>15</day><comment>[Epub]</comment><pub-id pub-id-type="doi">10.1002/micr.22450</pub-id></element-citation></ref><ref id="B2"><label>2</label><element-citation publication-type="journal"><person-group person-group-type="author"><name><surname>Nguyen</surname><given-names>AT</given-names></name><name><surname>Suami</surname><given-names>H</given-names></name></person-group><article-title>Laparoscopic free omental lymphatic flap for the treatment of lymphedema</article-title><source>Plast Reconstr Surg</source><year>2015</year><volume>136</volume><fpage>114</fpage><lpage>118</lpage><pub-id pub-id-type="pmid">26111317</pub-id></element-citation></ref><ref id="B3"><label>3</label><element-citation publication-type="journal"><person-group person-group-type="author"><name><surname>Selber</surname><given-names>JC</given-names></name><name><surname>Baumann</surname><given-names>DP</given-names></name><name><surname>Holsinger</surname><given-names>FC</given-names></name></person-group><article-title>Robotic latissimus dorsi muscle harvest: a case series</article-title><source>Plast Reconstr Surg</source><year>2012</year><volume>129</volume><fpage>1305</fpage><lpage>1312</lpage><pub-id pub-id-type="pmid">22634647</pub-id></element-citation></ref><ref id="B4"><label>4</label><element-citation publication-type="journal"><person-group person-group-type="author"><name><surname>Katz</surname><given-names>RD</given-names></name><name><surname>Rosson</surname><given-names>GD</given-names></name><name><surname>Taylor</surname><given-names>JA</given-names></name><etal></etal></person-group><article-title>Robotics in microsurgery: use of a surgical robot to perform a free flap in a pig</article-title><source>Microsurgery</source><year>2005</year><volume>25</volume><fpage>566</fpage><lpage>569</lpage><pub-id pub-id-type="pmid">16178007</pub-id></element-citation></ref></ref-list><sec sec-type="supplementary-material"><title>Supplementary Material</title><supplementary-material content-type="local-data" id="S1"><caption><title>Supplemental Video S1</title><p>The supplemental digital content is an approximately two-minute video of the robotic right gastroepiploic lymph node flap harvest.</p><p>Supplemental data can be found at: <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://e-aps.org/src/sm/aps-43-210-s001.avi">http://e-aps.org/src/sm/aps-43-210-s001.avi</ext-link></p></caption><media mimetype="application" mime-subtype="avi" xlink:href="aps-43-210-s001.avi" orientation="portrait" id="d36e348" position="anchor"></media></supplementary-material></sec></back><floats-group><fig id="F1" orientation="portrait" position="float"><label>Fig. 1</label><caption><title>Anatomical landmarks of the right gastroepiploic lymph node flap.
