Robotic Surgery for the Ileal Pouch
1Australian National University, Sydney Adventist Hospital, Sydney, NSW, Australia.
Background:
A robotic approach to total colectomy/proctectomy and ileal pouch reconstruction would seem to be a sensible use of the platform's enhanced reach, visualization, and dexterity.
Objective:
The study aimed to discuss current published data for robotic ileal pouch surgery.
Study Selection:
The study selection included a paucity of published data to date, representing early learning curves and case series with small numbers.
Conclusions:
Current robotic platforms may offer advantages, particularly in the low pelvis beyond what is found with a laparoscopic approach.
