Robotic Transfer of the Latissimus Dorsi.

ABSTRACT: Robotic surgery has been used for a long time; it is earning space and its use is expanding in daily medical practice in several surgical specialties, with advantages over traditional surgical methods. This Technical Note presents an endoscopic robotic posterior shoulder approach that allows the surgeon to perform latissimus dorsi transfer endoscopically. This Technical Note describes the use of the da Vinci robot (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, CA) for transfers related to rotator cuff tears.
