Abstract
PURPOSE: Previous robot-assisted total colectomy/total proctocolectomy (TC/TPC) has been mostly confined to completion proctectomy combined with open or laparoscopic colon dissection. This study describes an integrative method of entirely robot-assisted maintaining anatomical dissection with single docking and one-off arm placement.
