Joe Y1 - 2019 N1 - T2 - Maingot's Abdominal Operations, 13e AB - Robotic surgery builds on the innovations of laparoscopy, which has been increasingly adopted for colon and rectal cancer surgery over the past 2 decades, with numerous well-designed trials demonstrating short-term advantages in terms of recovery and complication rates, along with long-term oncologic outcomes at least equivalent to those of open surgery. These advantages likely result from the fact that laparoscopic approaches provide improved visualization of the surgical field, which translates into greater operative exposure, exploiting one of surgery’s most fundamental tenets.
