🤖 I love robotic surgery—but not every case needs a robot🔪
Modified Makuuchi incision can be a safe, efficient option for complex urologic oncology cases.
✅ Massive tumors (>18 cm)
✅ Complex IVC thrombus (Levels I–IV)
✅ T4 disease
✅ Adrenocortical carcinoma
✅ Complex anatomy
👉 Haven’t tried a Makuuchi incision? Consider it for better upper intrabdominal exposure.

🤖 SP vs MP robotic surgery — what actually matters to patients?
Our study found patients care most about:
🎯 Cancer control
⚠️ Complication risk
💊 Post-op pain
Cosmesis and cost? Much lower priorities
Innovation = focus on what Patients care about!
