Abstract

The proposed video-vignette represents a later step towards a truly robotically surgical approach, that combines oncological radicality and preservation of optimal blood flow during a sigmoidectomy for cancer. This totally robotic vessel-sparing approach doesn't result in longer operative times, higher blood loss or extended length of hospitalization.
