Area of Science:

Minimally Invasive Surgery
Robotic Surgery
Gastrointestinal Surgery

Background:

Single-port laparoscopy presents technical challenges in abdominal surgery.
The Da Vinci Single-Site® robotic surgery platform aims to mitigate these challenges.
This article details a case of single-incision robotic right colectomy.

Observation:

A 74-year-old female underwent a single-site robotic right colectomy for a malignant cecal polyp.
Resection and anastomosis were performed extracorporeally after robot undocking.
The procedure was completed in 200 minutes without complications.

Findings:

The single-site robotic right colectomy was successfully completed.
No intraoperative or postoperative complications occurred.
No conversion to laparotomy or additional trocars was necessary.

Implications:

This represents the first reported case of right colectomy using the Da Vinci Single-Site® platform.
The procedure demonstrates feasibility and safety.
Key advantages include restored triangulation and reduced instrument collisions.
