Purpose The aim of the present systematic review and meta-analysis is to compare
laparoscopic right colectomy (LRC) versus robotic right colectomy (RRC) using …

Background The gut microbiota (GM) has been proposed as one of the main determinants of
colorectal surgery complications and theorized as the “missing factor” that could explain still …

Objective: To evaluate the complication-based learning curve and identify learning-
associated complications of robotic gastrectomy. Summary Background Data: With the …

Background The primary objective of this study was to retrospectively compare short-term
outcomes of intracorporeal versus extracorporeal anastomosis for minimally invasive …

Aim Minimally invasive surgical approaches for cancer of the right colon have been well
described with significant patient and equivalent oncological benefits. Robotic surgery has …

Background With the rapid adoption of the robotic surgery, more and more learning curve
(LC) papers are being published but there is no set definition of what should constitute a …

Learning related to robotic colorectal surgery can be measured by surgical process (such as
time or adequacy of resection) or patient outcome (such as morbidity or quality of life). Time …

Background: Intracorporeal anastomosis (IA) in right colectomies shows many advantages
over extracorporeal anastomosis (EA). Many difficulties encountered in laparoscopic IA can …

Background Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide. Laparoscopic
colorectal surgery (LCRS) is a frequently used modality. A new development in minimally …

With the rapid adoption of robotics in colorectal surgery, there has been growing interest in
the pace at which surgeons gain competency, as it may aid in self-assessment or …
