Abstract

BACKGROUND: We introduced the da Vinci robotic surgical system in 2006 for the first time in Japan, and have been performing robot-assisted rectal cancer surgeries since 2010, after receiving approval from the hospital's Ethics Review Committee in 2009. Here we report the long-term and short-term outcomes of robot-assisted rectal cancer surgeries performed in our department.
