We report our preliminary experience with the new daVinciXi system in general surgery. Since September 2014 to December 2015 we performed 70 operations in general abdominal surgery, mainly in colorectal, using the new daVinciXi. The new system has been thought to overcome the critical issues of multi -quadrant robotic surgery, as the intraoperative collision of the arms. This is allowed by the working set up with parallel arms movements, differently than the daVinciSi system. Here we describe our experience and propose our new trocars layout according to the new working disposal of the Xi system.
