“… 14 – 15 We have also standardized the technique of robotic TPE ( Figure 2 ). 16 The steps of the abdominal part of surgery included retroperitoneal dissection (medial to lateral), inferior mesenteric artery and vein division, retrorectal space dissection all the way down to the origin of the levator ani muscle, medialization of the ureters, dissection of the pararectal and paravesical spaces up to the endopelvic fascia, retzius space dissection, division of the dorsal venous complex, transection of the urethra, division of the ureters, and transection of the sigmoid colon. 9 The LPLND technique was also described previously, 17 which included ureteric medialization, dissection around the iliac vessels, obliterated umbilical artery dissection, obturator nerve identification, and a radical dissection up to the pelvic floor to complete the standard template.…”
