Robotic colonic resection

Emmanouil P Pappou et al. J Surg Oncol. 2015 Sep.

Abstract

Innovative robotic technologies are aiming to help surgeons overcome the limits of conventional laparoscopic surgery. Recent studies have shown that robotic colorectal surgery is safe and provides favorable results in comparison to conventional laparoscopic techniques. Further studies and long-term follow-up are required to assess the outcomes and potential benefits of robotic colon surgery over laparoscopic surgery.

Keywords: colectomy; colon surgery; laparoscopic surgery; outcomes; robotic surgery.
