DURING THE DISSECTION OF THE PERITONEUM FOR AN EPIGASTRIC VENTRAL HERNIA USING A TAPP PROCEDURE, IT WAS REPORTED THAT AFTER 36 MINUTES OF ROBOTIC CONSOLE TIME, MONOPOLAR ENERGY WAS DELIVERED VIA THE TIP SLEEVE OF THE MONOPOLAR SCISSORS TO TISSUE ON ALREADY CHARRED AND COAGULATED ANATOMICAL PLANES. NO CRITICAL STRUCTURES SUCH AS NERVES OR VESSELS PRESENT OR IMPACTED. VISUALIZATION OF THE INSTRUMENT BY THE ENDOSCOPE UNDER 10X MODIFICATION DID NOT OBSERVE ANY DEFECT. ALTHOUGH AN INSTRUMENT EXCHANGE WAS RECOMMENDED, THE SURGEON OPTED TO CONTINUE WITH THE EXISTING DEVICE DUE TO ITS ADEQUATE ENERGY DELIVERY AT THE TIP AND OVERALL SATISFACTORY PERFORMANCE AND DID NOT WISH TO PROLONG THE PROCEDURE TO EXCHANGE THE INSTRUMENT. ENERGY APPLICATION DURING THE PROCEDURE WAS CONSISTENTLY DEEMED SAFE, AS THE SURGEON MAINTAINED CLEAR VISUAL CONTROL OVER THE LOCATION, TIMING, AND INTENSITY OF ENERGY DELIVERY TO THE INTENDED TISSUE. THE MALFUNCTION CARRIED ONLY A MINOR RISK OF INJURY AND THE PROCEDURE WAS COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY AND WITHOUT INCIDENT, NO HARM OCCURRED THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL OR SURGICAL INTERVENTION.
