The postoperative wound after SPRDG
The Pfannenstiel incision was used to maximize the advantage of a wide working space from small incisions that the da Vinci SP system offers, instead of the transumbilical incision used in conventional laparoscopic or robotic gastrectomy. The da Vinci SP system’s multiarticulated instrument and camera view allowed distal gastrectomy to be conducted through the Pfannenstiel incision without approach or vision problems. A representative example of an immediate postoperative wound is shown in Fig.
