The analysis of short-term results of 117 laparoscopic and 16 robotic-assistant colon surgeries, performed in NMSC N.I.Pirogov between January 2011 and May 2015 was undertaken. There were 90 resections for colon cancer, 31 for diverticular disease and one for megacolon. Also results of 11 reconstructive operation after Hartmann procedure was investigated. In 74 cases of cancer operation were performed with mesocolonectomy and central vessels ligature. In 16 patients sceletization of inferior mesenteric artery and paraortal lymphadenectomy was performed. Morbidity rate was 11,3 % among all patients. The use of robotic technology in colon surgery is not an optimal option due to low cost effectiveness and prolonged operating time comparing to those after routine laparoscopic procedures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
