- Abstract
Background: Over the past 20 years, surgeons involved in soft tissue minimally invasive surgery have experienced the pros and cons of both conventional and tele-robotic laparoscopic approaches. The Maestro System, developed by Moon Surgical (Paris, France) aims to overcome the challenges inherent to both approaches thanks to a new concept that augments the surgeon's performance at the bedside during a laparoscopic procedure., Methods: The current study aims to present the first human experience with laparoscopic cholecystectomy with the Maestro system on 10 patients., Results: All ten procedures were completed successfully. No significant complications related to the use of the Maestro system werenoted., Conclusion: Our preliminary observations appear to support the benefits of the Maestro system in non-emergent laparoscopic cholecystectomies. It goes without saying that further research is necessary to demonstrate the safety of this approach in other procedures., (© 2023. The Author(s).)
