Abstract
Planning robotic hysterectomy, special conditions and requirements have to be taken into account. The positioning of the patient is a crucial aspect regarding safety as steep Trendelenburg position, which is associated with special risks, is mandatory. The set-up of the robotic device, including draping and positioning of the patient cart again are issues concerning the technical functionality of the robotic system. Even more than other operative techniques, robotic surgery has to be regarded a team task in which communication and interaction between surgeons, nurses and anesthesiologists is mandatory to achieve good results.
