Robotic multivisceral resection is a safe and feasible minimally invasive approach for selected pelvic malignancy cases. This early experience showed no serious complications or recurrence at 12-month follow-up.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Oncology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Robotic Surgery

Background:

  • Pelvic exenteration is a key treatment for advanced or recurrent pelvic malignancy.
  • Robotic surgery offers a minimally invasive alternative for complex pelvic procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present early outcomes of robotic multivisceral resection for pelvic malignancy.
  • To compare robotic approach with existing literature.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study of patients undergoing robotic-assisted multi-visceral resection.
  • Analysis of operation type, time, complications, and length of stay.
  • Evaluation of R0 resection, lymph node harvest, and recurrence rates.

Main Results:

  • Eight cases of robotic resection for locally advanced pelvic malignancy were performed.
  • Mean operating time was 8.3 hours with minimal blood transfusion needs.
  • No serious postoperative morbidity or mortality, clear margins, and no recurrence at 12 months.

Conclusions:

  • Robotic multivisceral resection is safe and feasible for selected pelvic malignancies.
  • This minimally invasive approach achieves good oncological outcomes.
