Jan Stuyvesant, a surgical technologist, was the scrub person during a robotic-assisted laparoscopic cholecystectomy. She locked the robotic endoscissor into the adaptor on the robotic arm and positioned the tip end into the trocar port in order for the surgeon to dissect the cystic duct and artery, while the surgical assistant placed the clips on the cystic duct and artery. As she reached across the sterile field to insert the cholangiocatheter through the port, the anesthesia provider accidentally made contact with the distal end of the catheter as he stood up to reach the monitor controls. The contaminated end of the catheter touched the endoscopic clip applier, the endoscissor connector that the surgeon was using, the glove of the assistant, and Jan's gown sleeve. The surgeon ordered everyone to change their gown and gloves and covered the port area with a sterile towel. What was the rationale for the surgeon to continue to dissect and not change his attire?
The surgeon was not in contact with the sterile field because he worked from the robotic console.

Jeannie Donahue is admitted for the fourth time for treatment and management of her pseudomyxoma peritonei, or peritoneal cancer. She is scheduled for open laparotomy for inspection with lymph node surveillance and frozen sections and peritoneal washings for cytologic examination.

A group of United Kingdom (UK) researchers undertook an analysis of several research studies comparing the outcomes of laparoscopic versus open incisional hernia repair of patients who had prior laparotomies. They examined surgical time, duration of hospital stay, perioperative complications, postoperative surgical site pain, and recurrence rates in 183 patients whose incisional hernias were repaired by the open approach and 183 repaired by the laparoscopic approach. Based on the results of this study, an appropriate risk reduction strategy for patients with incisional hernias would be to repair incisional hernias:
laparoscopically.
