Abstract:
The benefits of minimally invasive approaches in colorectal surgery have been well demonstrated. However, some hesitancy remains with regards to the utilization of the robotic platform for total colectomies, mostly due to the perceived need for multiple re-dockings in multiquadrant surgery. This video aims to demonstrate how the robotic platform can be efficiently utilized in multiquadrant surgery without the need for multiple re-dockings, as well as some tips on how to overcome the potential challenges that may be encountered during this procedure.
