Measurements and Main Results: In this video, we review the robotic surgical techniques utilized to dissect the pararectal space. Relevant pelvic anatomy is reviewed and highlighted during surgical dissection.

Conclusion:

Surgical dissection of pelvic spaces is a critical skillset for the advanced gynecologic surgeon. Knowledge of anatomy and boundaries of the pelvic spaces protects important structures during pelvic surgery, especially in complex cases where anatomy is significantly altered. Proficiency in robotic movements allow for safe and effective surgical dissection
