Area of Science:

  • Colorectal Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Robotic Surgery

Background:

  • Single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) presents cosmetic advantages but faces technical challenges.
  • Robotic assistance may overcome limitations in SILS for complex procedures.
  • SILS aims to reduce trauma, pain, and hospital stay compared to traditional surgery.

Observation:

  • A robotic-assisted single-incision laparoscopic partial cecectomy was successfully performed.
  • Modifications to the robotic setup included crossing instruments and reassigning controls for optimized ergonomics and visualization.
  • The procedure was completed in 120 minutes with minimal blood loss (<50 ml).

Findings:

  • The patient, a 53-year-old male, experienced no complications or need for conversion to open surgery.
  • Pathology confirmed a sessile tubular adenoma of the cecum.
  • The patient was discharged after a 2-day hospital stay with a well-healed, minimally visible scar and no postoperative complications at 6 weeks.

Implications:

  • Robotic-assisted SILS is a viable option for partial colectomy with appropriate technical modifications.
  • Further research is needed to fully establish the safety, efficacy, and benefits of this advanced surgical technique.
  • This approach holds potential for enhancing patient outcomes in minimally invasive colorectal surgery.
