Ulcerative Colitis (UC) is an idiopathic chronically-remitting inflammatory bowel disorder
characterized by a contiguous inflammation of the colonic mucosa affecting the rectum that …

Background: Robotic approaches have become increasingly used for colorectal surgery.
The aim of this study is to examine the safety and efficacy of robotic colorectal procedures in …

Background During the past decade, the concept of complete mesocolic excision (CME) has
emerged as a possible strategy to minimize recurrence for right colon cancers. The purpose …

Background Growing evidence suggests that the intracorporeal fashioning of an
anastomosis after a laparoscopic right colectomy may offer several advantages. However …

Methods An expert panel was selected by the EAES technology committee to draft the
consensus paper. The panel was composed of 13 members: 9 general surgeons, of which …

Background Until randomized trials mature, large database analyses assist in determining
the role of robotics in colorectal surgery. ACS NSQIP database coding now allows …

Aim The use of robotic techniques in colorectal surgery is increasing. Recently, the
Senhance™ surgical robotic system was introduced as a novel robotic platform designed to …

Robot-assisted surgery is assumed to be time consuming partially due to extra time needed
in preparing the robot. The objective of this study was to give realistic times in Da Vinci Xi …

Background: Robotic surgery was introduced to overcome laparoscopic drawbacks. This
study aimed to compare the learning curve of robotic-assisted right colectomy (RRC) versus …

Background The learning curve for robotic colorectal surgery is ill-defined. This study aimed
to investigate the learning curve of experienced laparoscopic rectal surgeons when starting …
