BACKGROUND: There is a lack of information regarding the oncological safety of robotic intersphincteric resection (ISR) with coloanal anastomosis. The objective of this study was to compare the long-term feasibility of robotic compared with laparosco...
BACKGROUND: Artificial neural networks (ANNs) can be used to develop predictive tools to enable the clinical decision-making process. This study aimed to investigate the use of an ANN in predicting the outcomes from enhanced recovery after colorectal...
BACKGROUND: Growing evidence suggests that the intracorporeal fashioning of an anastomosis after a laparoscopic right colectomy may offer several advantages. However, due to the difficulty of the intracorporeal technique, laparoscopic extracorporeal ...
BACKGROUND: Techniques for robotic resection of the left colon are not well defined and have not been widely adopted due to limited range of motion of the robotic arms. We have developed a dual docking technique for both the splenic flexure and the p...
OBJECTIVES: Robot-assisted laparoscopic surgeries (RLSs) have become increasingly common in the past decade alongside conventional laparoscopic surgeries (CLSs). In general, RLSs have been reported to be superior to CLSs; therefore, we compared both ...
A 65-year-old male with disseminated prostate cancer and newly diagnosed colonic cancer underwent elective robotic right hemicolectomy with intracorporeal anastomosis and had an uncomplicated short-term postoperative course. More than two years after...

Persistent descending mesocolon(PDM)is caused by absence of fusion of the descending colon to the retroperitoneum. A 67-year-old man with bloody stools was diagnosed with rectal cancer on colonoscopy. A computed tomography showed a medial displacemen...
<b>Introduction:</b> Surgery using robotic systems is taking over an increasingly wider field of open surgery and laparoscopy. Recently, this is particularly visible in colorectal surgery, where the advantages include better insight into ...
AIM: Anastomotic leakage (AL) in left-sided colorectal cancer is a serious complication, with an incidence rate of 6-18%. We developed a novel predictive model for AL in colorectal surgery with double-stapling technique (DST) anastomosis using auto-a...
