| Popis: |
Laparoscopic colectomy has been shown to have significant advantages over open colectomy. Yet, the widespread adoption of laparoscopic techniques has been slower than expected. The enhanced visualization and dexterity afforded by the robotic system platform may facilitate the adoption of a minimally invasive approach to colectomies. Robotic right colectomy (RRC) is safe and feasible and may be an ideal case for a surgeon’s initial experience with robotic techniques. Operative times and perioperative complications are comparable to laparoscopic colectomy, and limited studies suggest oncologic outcomes to be equivalent as well. One of the obvious advantages of the robotic approach is the facilitation of an intracorporeal anastomosis (ICA). If future studies confirm that ICA is advantageous, the role of RRC may gain importance. Finally, single-incision robotic techniques are being investigated and have been shown to be feasible. With advancing technology, application of this platform may become more widespread. |
