In the researchers' words
Stray energy transfer during laparoscopic surgery is recognized as a cause of potentially serious complications. This will be the first study to demonstrate clinical evidence of tissue injury due to stray energy transfer during robotic surgery. This information can then be used to define surgeon modifiable factors that can reduce the risk of patient injury. In addition, these data can guide the development of future robotic and laparoscopic platforms.
