Feasibility of on-demand robotics in colorectal surgery: first cases.

Journal: Surgical endoscopy
Published Date: Jul 24, 2023

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The key benefits of robotics are improved precision and control, thanks to fully articulated robotic instruments and enhanced, stable endoscope control. However, colorectal procedures also require large movements such as medialization of the colon where a robotic platform is not always needed. We present the world's first experience in colorectal surgery with a new open platform of on-demand robotics.
