Four-arm trocar placement for robotic right colectomy

An alternative approach, in which all four robotic arms are docked, includes the placement of an additional 8 mm robotic trocar in the right lower quadrant, at McBurney's point. This can be advantageous whenever the cecum/right colon needs to be retracted in a static fashion to facilitate exposure. Specifically, we use this approach when performing a superior mesenteric vein-first approach.
