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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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

Aim of this study was to compare operative, long-term oncological and functional outcomes
of laparoscopic (LISR) and robotic (RISR) intersphincteric resection in low-lying rectal …

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 …

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 Minimally invasive surgery has been considered as an alternative to open
surgery by surgeons for colorectal cancer. However, the efficacy and safety profiles of …
