In Japan, the hinotori™ Surgical Robot System obtained pharmaceutical approval for use in colorectal cancer surgery in October 2022. This system has an operating arm with eight axes, adjustable arm base, and flexible three-dimensional viewer, which are expected to be advantageous in colorectal cancer surgery. A 55-year-old man presented to our hospital with melena and was diagnosed with cStage IIA (cT3N0M0) rectal cancer. The patient underwent intersphincteric resection using hinotori™ Surgical Robot System. Appropriate port placement was available for rectal manipulation, lymph node dissection, and arm base angle adjustment. Herein, we report the world's first rectal cancer surgery using the hinotori™ Surgical Robot System with TaTME by two teams.
