A robotic surgery expert may review the operative report, specific da Vinci system used, instruments and energy devices, port configuration, surgical video when available, and documentation of any equipment issue during the procedure. The review may help distinguish issues involving the surgeon’s use of the robotic system from issues involving the operation or performance of the system or its instruments.
An expert may compare the location of the injury with instrument position, port placement, surgical steps, energy use, visualization of the operative field, and postoperative findings. Imaging, subsequent surgery, pathology findings, and relevant system or instrument records may also help assess when the injury became apparent and the possible location and mechanism of tissue injury.
Conversion means that a procedure begun with a robotic-assisted approach was continued using conventional laparoscopy or open surgery. Conversion may occur because of bleeding, difficult anatomy, adhesions, limited access or visualization, technical difficulty, equipment problems, or other intraoperative circumstances. Conversion alone does not establish surgical error or equipment malfunction, so the operative record can be reviewed to determine why and when the surgical approach changed.
