Robot-assisted surgery for colorectal cancer using the Hugo™ RAS system: an observational study with the initial 118 cases and a literature review

Feasibility and Short-term Outcomes of Robotic Surgery for Transverse Colon Cancer: A Multicenter Retrospective Study

Background/Aim: Patients with transverse colon cancer have been excluded from randomized controlled trials due to its anatomical complexity and high technical difficulty. Few studies have compared robotic surgery with laparoscopic or open surgery for transverse colon cancer. We conducted a comparative analysis of the s...

Robotic colorectal cancer surgery: perioperative and oncological outcomes at a national referral center in Mexico

Postoperative Outcomes of Robotic Versus Conventional Surgery in a Multi-Cancer Cohort: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Rehospitalization differed in direction between these cancers, indicating that cancer type and comparator selection materially affect inference, and these associations do not establish a platform-specific benefit or transferable bed-day savings.

Robot-assisted colectomy is associated with improved perioperative outcomes and favorable survival in stage I-III colon cancer: a nationwide overlap-weighted analysis.

BACKGROUND Robot-assisted colectomy has been increasingly adopted for colon cancer because of its technical advantages; however, evidence regarding its short- and survival oncological outcomes remains limited. The aim of this study was to compare short- and survival outcomes among open, laparoscopic, and robot-assisted...

Implementation of a Robotic Colorectal Surgery Program: Early Outcomes from a Tertiary Referral Center

Background: Robotic-assisted colorectal surgery is increasingly adopted; however, evidence regarding outcomes during the early implementation phase remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and short-term outcomes of a newly established robotic colorectal surgery program at a tertiary referral cente...

The marginal gains of robotic surgery in colorectal cancer.

AIM Robotic surgery was introduced to enhance surgical performance; however, evidence of superiority over conventional laparoscopy remains inconsistent in colorectal cancer treatment. Inspired by Sir Dave Brailsford's concept of marginal gains, we hypothesized that small improvements of robotic platforms might be assoc...
