Abstract
Robotic surgery is becoming popular for minimally invasive surgical procedures as robotic devices allow unprecedented control and precision. We report a case of robotic radical cystectomy with ileal conduit urinary diversion surgery having perioperative neurological complications related to prolonged surgery in the steep head-down position. There was a neurological deficit in the form of hemiparesis, which resolved with conservative management. We suggest that duration and positioning should be optimized for such prolonged surgery in the steep head-down position, and make some recommendations. Moreover, in such surgeries great vigilance must be observed in the perioperative period.
