Abstract

OBJECTIVE: An increasing number of studies have been reported since the "Da Vinci" Robotic System was used in gastrointestinal disease. Thus, we conducted this meta-analysis to evaluate the safety and efficacy of robotic colectomy (RC) compared with laparoscopic colectomy (LC) in the treatment of colon cancer.
