“Drop-In” for Surgery The VTI Flexible Drop-In Doppler for Robotic-Assisted Surgery: A L WAY S AVA I L A B L E , R O B O T I C A L L Y C O N T R O L L E D Benefits During Partial Nephrectomy • Minimizes risk of significant bleeding1 • Leads to a change in operative management and significantly reduces hilar dissection time2 • Provides fast, efficient identification of the renal hilum without an added learning curve3 Puts you in control By being placed at the surgical site, the new "drop-in" flexible probe puts the control of the probe back in the hands of the surgeon at the console. "[VTI's] flexible Drop-In Dopplers have definitely helped me in facilitating dissection of the renal hilum, particularly if there is a lot of fat over the hilar vessels or abberant hilar anatomy with multiple vessels."* – Craig G. Rogers M.D. Director of Renal Surgery Henry Ford Hospital

VTI Doppler Probes for Robotic-Assisted Surgery A Flexible, Slim Profile During robotic surgery, the Drop-In Doppler is placed into the operative field through the assistant port. It can then be manipulated by the console surgeon via the robotic arms. Unlike intraoperative ultrasound, the VTI flexible Drop-In Doppler fits into small spaces and provides precise, pinpoint localization of the vasculature. It is ideally suited for facilitating hilar dissection and for confirming ischemia after clamping. Heard During Partial Nephrectomy "The flexible, laparoscopic Doppler probe can be left in the...
