Simple Summary Surgery remains a mainstay of combined modality treatment at patients
with rectal cancer; however, there is a growing interest in using laparoscopic techniques …

Intersphincteric resection (ISR) is the ultimate anus-sparing technique for low rectal cancer
and is considered an oncologically safe alternative to abdominoperineal resection. The …

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate long-term oncologic outcomes of robotic
surgery for rectal cancer compared with laparoscopic surgery at a single institution …

BACKGROUND: Robotic total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer has rapidly increased
and has shown short-term outcomes comparable to conventional laparoscopic total …

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 …

The true benefits of robotic surgery are controversial, and whether robotic total mesorectal
excision (R-TME) can be justified as a standard treatment for rectal cancer patients needs to …

Introduction Total mesorectal excision (TME) for rectal cancer can be challenging to perform
in the presence of difficult pelvic anatomy. In our previous studies based on open and …

Simple Summary Intersphincteric resection (ISR) is the ultimate anus-preserving surgical
technique for very low-lying rectal cancers. The oncological safety of ISR has been …

Background The objective of this meta-analysis was to compare the clinical and oncologic
outcomes of robotic low anterior resection (R-LAR) with conventional laparoscopic low …

AIM: To compare the short-and long-term outcomes of laparoscopic and robotic surgery for
middle and low rectal cancer. METHODS: This is a retrospective study on a prospectively …
