How I Do It: The Life and Work of a Rubber Band in Robotic Liver Parenchymal Transection
Yifan Wang, Caroline J. Simon, Yee Lee CheahABSTRACT
Liver retraction is critical for safe and efficient robotic liver transection. Conventional methods often require additional instruments, tacking sutures or continuous bedside assistance. This “How I Do It” article presents our double rubber band technique, which enables stable, hands‐free retraction during robotic liver transection. We provide a video demonstration of our standard retraction technique for hemihepatectomy and describe adaptations for complex resections.
