Abstract:Backgrounds
Robotic colorectal surgery is a method of performing complex surgery in a minimally invasive manner. In diverticular disease, chronic inflammation obscures tissues planes and increases difficulty of resection. This study aims to assess feasibility and safety of application of a robotic approach to diverticular disease, by reviewing short‐term outcomes from a series of diverticular resections.
Methods
Forty‐one patients underwent robotic colorectal surgery for diverticular disease across three centr… Show more
