It was reported that during a da vinci-assisted surgical procedure, the bedside assistant tried to push the airseal port deeper in to get better smoke evacuation.The chamber detached from the access port grip and insufflation was lost.It was at the completion of the robotic portion, so the team undocked, completed the dissection (only about 1 cm left at this point) and removed the specimen.Since the dissection was completed the way it was supposed to be, the surgeon and the teams do not consider this as conversion.The procedure was completed with no patient harm, no fragment fall and no delay.The patient did not experience any immediate post-operative complications prior to discharge.
