Robotic Assisted Laparoscopic Surgery: A Review of its Application and Impact on Pelvic Colorectal Surgery
نویسنده
چکیده
Laparoscopy was a major technical advance for colorectal surgery, with great clinical and financial benefits compared to open surgery for both benign and malignant colorectal diseases. Despite proven clinical advantages, the rate of laparoscopy for pelvic colorectal surgery remains low. The technical advantages of robotic assisted laparoscopic surgery may help overcome the limitations of other minimally invasive techniques in pelvic colorectal surgery. The safety, feasibility, and comparative effectiveness has been proven compared to open and laparoscopic approaches, and specific advantages and technical applications continue to evolve. The goal of this paper is to review the history, benefits, clinical outcomes, and future direction for RALS in pelvic colorectal surgery.

Laparoscopic colorectal surgery is rapidly gaining acceptance for the management of colorectal cancer. However, laparoscopic colorectal surgery is technically more challenging than conventional surgery. This challenge is more profound for laparoscopic rectal cancer, where there is a need to perform a total mesorectal excision (TME), in the confines of the pelvis, with the limitations of the lap...
