Abstract EN
Aim.
Robotic colorectal surgery may be a way to overcome the limitations of laparoscopic surgery.
It is an emerging field; so, we aim in this paper to provide a comprehensive and data analysis of the available literature on the use of robotic technology in colorectal surgery.
Method.
A comprehensive systematic search of electronic databases was completed for the period from 2000 to 2011.
Studies reporting outcomes of robotic colorectal surgery were identified and analyzed.
Results.
41 studies (21 case series, 2 case controls, 13 comparative studies 1 prospective comparative, 1 randomized trial, 3 retrospective analyses) were reviewed.
A total of 1681 patients are included in this paper; all of them use Da Vinci except 2 who use Zeus.
Short-term outcome has been evaluated with 0 mortality and191 total major and minor complications.
Pathological results were not analyzed in all studies and only 20 out of 41 provide data about the pathological results.
Conclusion.
Robotic surgery is safe and feasible option in colorectal surgery and a promising field; however, further prospective randomized studies are required to better define its role.
