| Summary: | <h4>Introduction</h4>Robotic-assisted techniques are common across many surgical subspecialties. While robotic stapling offers increased surgeon control, there is limited information on surgical complications related to robotic stapler use.<h4>Methods</h4>We reviewed the FDA's MAUDE database for adverse events related to robotic stapler use.<h4>Results</h4>Upon review of the FDA database, the most frequently reported robotic stapler complications were malfunction, failure to form staple line, device fragmentation, and misfire. 31 Clavien-Dindo grade II or higher complications were attributed to stapler use since 2014.<h4>Conclusions</h4>Further research on prevalence of robotic stapler use is needed to quantity the associated complication rate. |
