Case Study
Obturator Lymph Node
KEY CLINICAL TAKEAWAY
The XACT ACE’s inherent ability to correct the instrument’s position along the planned trajectory, regardless of instrument tip depth, is just one way that ACE gets you to the target, in one insertion, every time.

The instrument veered off the planned trajectory at the second checkpoint due to patient movement.
Upon the insertion to the third checkpoint, the XACT ACETM corrected the instrument’s position to align with the trajectory even deep within the patient’s abdomen.
“By using the ACE Robot to insert through a difficult trajectory between a small rib space, the need to transgress the lung was eliminated.”
