Summary:
Goal: Evaluation of robotic technology in patients with colorectal diseases.
Material - Methods: Retrospective review of a prospectively maintained database of 101 total patients who underwent robotic colectomy for colorectal disease between 2012 and 2018. Preoperative, perioperative and postoperative characteristics and outcomes were recorded.
Results: Mean age was 66 years and mean BMI was 30.2 Kg/m2. Conversion to open surgery occurred in 1,9% of cases and mean estimated blood loss was 90ml. Mean length of hospital stay was 5 days. Complications above Clavien-Dindo II occurred in 9 patients.
Conclusion: Robotic colorectal surgery offers all advantages of minimally invasive surgery with lower conversion rates when compared to the available literature regarding laparoscopic surgery. Oncologic outcomes are similar between these two techniques.
