The Impact of Robotic Surgery for Mid and Low Rectal Cancer

Abstract

Robotic surgery may be an effective tool in the effort to maximize the advantages of minimally invasive surgery in the management of mid to low rectal cancer.

Laparoscopic Resection for Rectal Cancer: What Is the Evidence?

“…Kang et al compared the open, standard laparoscopic and robotic assisted laparoscopic approaches (Table 5) [44]. In this retrospective study, case-matched analysis of patients who had undergone rectal resection for rectal tumours within 10 cm from the anal verge was performed.…”
