Colectomy is the removal of a diseased section of the colon. If you are a candidate for surgery, talk to your doctor about all options including a robotic colectomy.
Learn about minimally invasive options for rectal resection surgery. One common procedure is a low anterior resection.
There are cases in the literature of awake robotic cardiac surgery[24], awake robotic partial nephrectomy[6] and awake video-assisted thoracic surgery[25]. However, to our knowledge, there are no cases in the literature of awake robotic liver resection, but just a case series of awake open ...
Robot-assisted radical resection of left-sided colon cancer Robotic surgical procedures are used for cancers located at the left transverse colon, left colic flexure, and descending colon. Surgical position The herringbone position or the modified lithotomy position [14] is used for the surgery. Afte...
Laparoscopic surgery is widely used in abdominal emergency surgery (AES), and the possibility of extending this approach to the more recent robotic surgery (RS) arouses great interest. The slow diffusion of robotic technology mainly due to high costs and

Within a few years gallbladder surgery changed from an open technique to an endoscopic procedure (Table 1). Laparoscopic techniques were then applied to other procedures in the abdominal cavity, including hernia repair,4 esophageal reflex surgery,5 and colon surgery.6 Applications include pelviscopy ...
Complete mesocolic excision (CME) is increasingly adopted for right sided colon cancer. However, the procedure is much more complex than a standard right hemicolectomy and carries some inherent risk of complications. This is especially true for the laparoscopic version of the operation. To provide ...

Current laparoscopic instrumentation, however, has its limitations...
Single port surgery is an emerging technique in minimal access surgery and its real benefit in current stage is debatable. This is because, while single port surgery is not ergonomically efficient and requires high level of technical proficiency its bene
