SP1.2.4A Single Centre experience in Robot-assisted Colorectal Surgery: First 70 cases

Abstract Aim To analyse the short-term outcome of robot-assisted colorectal surgery (RACS) in a single centre. Methods All patients who underwent RACS using DaVinci Xi platform between June 2018 and December 2020 were included our study. was performed by two consultant team. Data collected from prospectively maintained database. Results Over 31-month study period, 70 with no 30-day mortality. Male to female ratio 4:3, mean age 66 years (SD 12). The body mass index 28.7 5.1). Pre-operative American society anaethesiology (ASA) score reported as 1-2 65% 35% 3. Indication for malignancy 89% (62/70) remainder benign pathology. Type high anterior resection (AR) 39% (27/70) patients, low AR 33% (23/70), right hemicolectomies 21% (15/70), Hartmann’s procedure 3% (2/70), abdominoperineal resections left hemicolectomy 1% (1/70). operating time 295 minutes 92), only 1 case conversion open. Complete (R0) achieved 95% (59/62) malignant resections. lymph nodes harvested 19 (range 7-36). Post-operative complications occurred 23% (16/70) including 6% (4/66) anastomotic leaks. length stay 8 days 1-53), readmission rate 14% (10/70). Conclusion robotic minimally invasive technique can be safely introduced major without excessive morbidity.
