Malfunction of da Vinci robotic system--disassembled surgeon's console hand piece: case report and review of the literature.
Recently, increasing numbers of robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy have been performed at many centers. Although uncommon, malfunction of the da Vinci Surgical system represents a new and unique problem in urologic surgery. In this study, we report a rare case of a disassembled surgeon's console hand piece because of a loose screw during robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.
