Area of Science:

Minimally invasive surgery
Robotic surgery
Surgical innovation

Background:

Robotic systems address technical challenges in Laparo-endoscopic Single Site Surgery (LESS).
Previous studies demonstrated success with robot-assisted single-incision right hemicolectomy.
This paper details the experience with robot-assisted single-incision total colectomy.

Observation:

A single umbilical incision was utilized for port placement.
The GelPOINT device facilitated the use of three robotic and one laparoscopic port.
Intraoperative robot redocking enabled access to the entire colon.

Findings:

The total operative time was 227 minutes.
The procedure resulted in minimal blood loss.
The patient was discharged on postoperative day four with no complications.

Implications:

Robot-assisted single-incision total colectomy is a feasible procedure.
This approach may offer benefits in terms of recovery and complication rates.
Further research can explore the broader application of this technique in colorectal surgery.
