Pick the operation, pick what this patient has, tap any step that applies to them, and open it.
I plan every gallbladder operation robotically. If an open operation ever has to be discussed, I draw that one by hand.
Each one adds a slide where it belongs in the talk. Leave them all off for a straightforward case.
For the inpatient with acute cholecystitis and other illnesses to weigh. Comparing treatments adds three slides: antibiotics alone, a drain through the skin, and surgery. Tube first takes every operative slide out of the deck.
Both walks through the open repair and the robotic repair, the risks of each, and how they compare. Pick one when the approach is already chosen and the other repair's slides drop out.
Real pictures of the less common hernias, shown with the robotic repair. Leave them off for the usual direct or indirect hernia.
Both walks through the open repair and the robotic repair, the risks of each, and how they compare. Pick one when the approach is already chosen and the other repair's slides drop out.
Femoral adds the robotic pictures, the open repair through the same incision, or both, to match the approach. Obturator is robotic only.
Both walks through the open repair and the robotic repair, who gets which, and the risks of each. Pick one when the approach is already chosen and the other repair's slides drop out.
Rare. Adds one slide after the activity limits.
Nothing here is saved, and nothing goes into anyone's record. The deck is built from the address bar, and there is no field anywhere in it that can hold a name, a date of birth, or a record number. We count how often a deck is opened, and nothing else: the diagnosis, the approach, and the extra steps never leave the page. The drawings are simplified and not to scale. This is a teaching aid for a conversation with Dr. Rodriguez, not medical advice on its own.
