Robotic-Assisted One-Stage Resection of Colorectal Cancer with Liver Metastases

The liver is the most common site of colorectal cancer metastatic spread, which occurs in about 50% patients. Although synchronous disease considered to have a less favorable biology and poorer prognosis compared metachronous disease, surgery nowadays only therapy offering potential cure. Only 20% these patients are eligible for surgery. Radical resection primary colon metastasis may allow 5-year survival rate ranging between 40–57%. Laparoscopic one-stage was demonstrated be safe effective, but sometimes it challenging. diffusion robotic has recently expanded application robots multivisceral-multiquadrant Compared laparoscopy, technology offers fine dissection microsuture better vascular management, facilitating parenchymal-sparing especially posterior segments. conversion open seems reduced. hybrid approach (laparoscopy robotic) reduce overall operative time, reserving challenging steps. Randomized controlled trials necessary fully demonstrate advantages this technology, terms reduction morbidity.
