While the single port robot has the advantage of one incision, there are several disadvantages to the system. These include limited energy devices, lack of near infrared fluorescent laparoscopy, and a minimal working distance of seven cm from the end of the robotic trocar. Our objective is to present several novel surgical enhancements to single port robotic inguinal lymph node dissection. METHODS: We present a case of robotic inguinal lymph node dissection using novel enhancements. These enhancements are the use of a balloon dilator to create dissection space, the use of a laparoscopic LigaSure device via the assistant port, the use of a mini GelPoint trocar to create a floating dock for the robotic trocar, and the use of a 5 mm near infrared laparoscope through the assistant port to identify lymphatic channels demarcated with indocyanine green. The medical record and intraoperative photographs and videos were used to create this presentation. RESULTS: Robot-assisted inguinal lymph node dissection was successfully performed. Total operative time was 227 minutes. A total of fifteen lymph nodes were identified. Patient had an uncomplicated post-operative course. CONCLUSIONS: The usage of the outlined operative enhancements allows for a thorough and efficient inguinal lymph node dissection.
