MDT pattern in robotic-assisted gynaecological surgeries
As shown in Figure S1, the operation performed by surgeons from non-gynaecological departments was a crucial part in robotic-assisted MDT gynaecological surgeries. For general surgery department, surgeons repair intestinal damage and relieve severe intestinal adhesions. When the metastasis was deeply infiltrated into the intestine, intestinal resection and anastomosis or enterostomy would be performed (Fig. S1A, B). Urological surgeons could help deal the metastasis on inferior vena cava (Fig. S1C). The ureters were the organs that required particular attention in gynaecological surgery. Urological surgeons resected ureteral lesions and completed the anastomosis because tumor metastasis or endometriosis tissue were often observed on the ureters (Fig. S1D). Meanwhile, partially liver resection often performed by hepatological surgeons to achieve R0 resection (Fig. S1E, F). Vascular damage needed surgical repair by vascular surgeons, but rapid and massive bleeding often lead to blurred vision so that they often transferred into open surgeries to accomplish vascular anastomosis (image not shown). Gynaecological surgeons carried out the major resection first and then other cooperative surgeons finished the procedures described above.
