How about

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+name: killRsession
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :var rsession="*myR*" :results none
(progn
  (switch-to-buffer rsession)
  (ess-quit)
  (sleep-for 1)
  (kill-buffer))
#+end_src


#+call: killRsession("*myR*") :results none
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
