Area of Science:

  • Colorectal Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Total mesorectal excision (TME) significantly reduced local recurrence in rectal cancer.
  • Multimodal treatments have improved outcomes, with surgery remaining crucial.
  • Laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer is oncologically safe but technically challenging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current evidence on robotic low anterior resection for rectal cancer.
  • To highlight the challenges and advantages of robotic rectal cancer surgery.
  • To present authors' experience in robotic low anterior resection.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of robotic rectal cancer surgery.
  • Analysis of data from authors' nearly ten-year experience.
  • Focus on technical aspects and outcomes of robotic low anterior resection.

Main Results:

  • Robotic surgery offers potential benefits for rectal cancer due to its technological features.
  • Laparoscopic low anterior resection presents technical challenges and a steep learning curve.
  • Robotic approach may overcome some limitations of laparoscopic surgery.

Conclusions:

  • Robotic surgery is a promising advancement in rectal cancer treatment.
  • Further evidence and experience are needed to fully establish robotic low anterior resection.
  • Robotic technology may enhance oncological safety and surgical outcomes in rectal cancer.
