Abstract
INTRODUCTION: The Cattell-Braasch maneuver has been widely used to provide adequate exposure for aorto-caval space (ACS) since the 1960s. Given its requirement of complex visceral mobilization and significant physiological disturbance, we proposed a new alternative surgical technique to access ACS: the transabdominal inferior retroperitoneal approach (TIRA) with robotic assistance.
