Purpose: To retrospectively review a single institution experience of ultrasound guided axillary vein port placement. Methods: In this retrospective study, a patient list was generated after searching our internal database from 1/1/2012 to 10/1/2018. Patients who had undergone axillary vein port placement were included. Chart review was performed to confirm approach, laterality and to gather demographic data, clinical indications, technical outcomes, and complications. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze this cohort. Chi-square statistics were used to compare outcomes by laterality. Results: Three hundred seven patients (51% female) with an average age of 58 years were included. The port was placed via the right axillary vein in 85% (261/307), predominantly for the indication of chemotherapy access (296/307). Technical success was achieved in all 307 cases. Peri procedural complications occurred in 1% (4/307) of cases and included port malpositioning requiring replacement and a case of port pocket hematoma. Post procedural complications including deep vein thrombosis and port malfunction occurred in 17% (52/307) of cases and port removal as a result of complication occurred in 9% (29/307) of cases. Conclusions: Ultrasound guided placement of an axillary port is a safe procedure to perform and demonstrates good clinical outcomes.

Camera Port

For robotic surgery, in a field of view looking upwards, the target lesion to be operated on should lie between the camera port and the robot. The ports are placed at the bottom of the chest wall. If the tumor is located below the inferior pulmonary vein, it is necessary to devise alternative port placement and robot docking methods. In 4 patients who had lower middle mediastinal tumors, the “Pelvic” setting on the visual pad of the patient cart was used, which allows easy access for lower middle mediastinal manipulation and results in minimal issues with robotic arm collisions.

Pyeloplasty is the gold standard therapy for ureteropelvic junction obstruction. Robotic assisted pyeloplasty has been widely adopted by urologists with and without prior laparoscopic pyeloplasty experience. However, difficult situations encountered during robotic assisted pyeloplasty can significantly add to the difficulty of the operation. This paper provides tips for patient positioning, port placement, robot docking, and intraoperative dissection and repair in patients with the difficult situations of obesity, large floppy liver, difficult to reflect colon (transmesenteric pyeloplasty), crossing vessels, large calculi, and previous attempts at ureteropelvic junction repair. Techniques presented in this paper may aid in the successful completion of robotic assisted pyeloplasty in the face of the difficult situations noted above.
