with rectal cancer; however, there is a growing interest in using laparoscopic techniques …

Aim: This study aimed to compare clinical and oncological outcomes of robot-assisted and
laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer. Materials and Methods: We searched …

Background: The aim of this study was to assess the safety and effectiveness of robotic-
assisted versus laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (TME) in patients with rectal cancer …

Background Minimally invasive surgery has been considered as an alternative to open
surgery by surgeons for colorectal cancer. However, the efficacy and safety profiles of …

Background The learning curve for robotic colorectal surgery is ill-defined. This study aimed
to investigate the learning curve of experienced laparoscopic rectal surgeons when starting …

dissection (RALLD) have not been fully investigated. This study aimed to assess the …

Studies of laparoscopic approaches in colorectal surgery support the use of such methods.
Compared with the open approach, laparoscopy reduces rates of postoperative …

Randomized controlled trials have demonstrated that laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer
is safe and can accelerate recovery without compromising oncological outcomes. However …

Objective Robotic surgery (RS) has been increasingly used for the resection of rectal cancer,
and its advantages over laparoscopic surgery (LS) have been demonstrated. However, few …

Aim The debate about the oncological adequacy, safety and efficiency of robotic vs
