摘要: Robotic technology currently offers some technical advantages in pelvic dissection compared with competing minimally invasive techniques, and adoption for the surgical treatment of rectal cancer is rapidly increasing worldwide. While there are early data demonstrating modest improvement patient outcomes, benefits terms long-term oncological as well potential improvements surgeon-centered outcomes such fatigue repetitive stress injury actively being investigated. Rapid innovation, impending release several new robotic platforms, likely to further expand application these technologies, improve on current limitations, reduce capital consumable costs. It imperative that, develops increases further, clinician research led programs drive safe implementation a patient-first approach.
