Description
Summary:Colorectal cancer is a highly prevalent malignancy in China, with rectal cancer accounting for the majority. Surgical resection is the primary treatment for rectal cancer, and minimally invasive surgery has become the mainstream approach. Laparoscopic surgery is widely used in clinical practice, but it still has certain limitations in the treatment of some rectal cancers, especially in the middle and lower rectal cancer. In contrast, the da Vinci® robotic surgical system, with its advantages of flexible and stable operation, high-definition three-dimensional imaging, and multiple degrees of freedom of the robot arm movement, enables precise surgical manipulations in the confined space of the pelvic cavity, demonstrating clinical advantages. This article elaborates on the application of robotic surgery in rectal cancer and discusses the pros and cons of robotic surgery versus laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer from the perspectives of the learning curve, surgeon-in-chief fatigue, intraoperative conditions, short-term postoperative recovery, surgery-related complications, and oncologic outcomes.
