BACKGROUND: Recent studies showed the potential of MRI-based deep learning (DL) for assessing treatment response in rectal cancer, but the role of MRI-based DL in evaluating Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homologue (KRAS) mutation remains unclear...
BACKGROUND: Lateral pelvic lymph node (LPLN) dissection is becoming increasingly important in the treatment of advanced low rectal cancer patients. However, the surgery has several disadvantages, including its technical complexity and high risk of ur...
BACKGROUND: Urogenital dysfunction is recognized as a serious complication affecting patient quality of life after rectal cancer surgery to treat rectal cancer; however, the studies focus on the urogenital function after robot-assisted rectal cancer ...
. Robotic systems can overcome some limitations of laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (L-TME), thus improving the quality of the surgery. So far, many studies have reported the technical feasibility and short-term oncological results of robotic t...
BACKGROUND: A barrier to the widespread adoption of watch-and-wait management for locally advanced rectal cancer is the inaccuracy and variability of identifying tumor response endoscopically in patients who have completed total neoadjuvant therapy (...

BACKGROUND: To compare laparoscopic camera navigation (LCN) quality between robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) and conventional laparoscopic surgery (CLS).
Robotic colorectal surgery allows for better ergonomics, superior retraction, and fine movements in the narrow anatomy of the pelvis. Recent years have seen the uptake of robotic surgery in all pelvic surgeries specifically in low rectal malignancies...
