Abstract:
Surgery takes up the core position in the treatment for rectal cancer. Compared to traditional laparoscopic surgery, the most significant technological advantage of robotic surgery is its ability to perform precise and dexterous procedures in narrow spaces, making it particularly suitable for rectal surgery. With the development of robotic surgery of rectal cancer, accumulating evidence suggests that the technological advantages of robotic surgery are gradually demonstrated in treatment effect. Several randomized controlled trials and large cohorts suggest that robotic rectal cancer surgery has certain advantages over laparoscopic surgery in terms of short-term outcomes (conversion rate, incidence of complication, etc.), and is comparable in terms of specimen quality. Evidence concerning long-term outcomes remains limited. In this article, we will review evidence in the field of robotic surgery of rectal cancer, summarize recent progress, and envision future development.
