Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of elective rectal
resection for rectal cancer in adults by robotic surgery compared with conventional …

Purpose Few studies have compared robotic and laparoscopic intersphincteric resection
(ISR) in rectal cancer. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis of recently published …

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

METHODS: A systematic review of current literature via PubMed and Embase search
engines was performed to identify relevant articles from january 2007 to november 2013 …

Background Robotic surgery has been used successfully in many branches of surgery; but
there is little evidence in the literature on its use in rectal cancer (RC). We conducted this …

Introduction Robotic colorectal surgery is being increasingly adopted. Our objective was to
compare early postoperative outcomes between robotic and laparoscopic colectomy in a …

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 …

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 The optimal approach for total mesorectal excision (TME) of rectal cancer
remains controversial. Aim To compare short-and long-term outcomes after open (OpTME) …

Aim Laparoscopic rectal surgery is associated with a steep learning curve and high
conversion rate despite progress in equipment design and consistent practice. The robotic …
