The robotic anterior resection with transanal extraction (NICE) procedure – a video vignette

Abstract

Complete mesocolic excision and central vascular ligation for locally invasive right-sided colon cancer by an open approach-a video vignette.

Re: “Robotic sigmoidectomy for diverticulitis ‐ Natural orifice extraction with stapleless hand‐sewn intracorporeal anastomosis” of Kudsi OY et al.

“…We have since performed over 300 procedures and helped disseminate this technique through society meetings and webinars, social media educational platforms and peer‐reviewed publications. Consequently, other groups from around the world have started to adopt and publish their initial experience [5] with the NICE Procedure.…”

Robotic NICE Procedure With Natural Orifice-Assisted Small-Bowel Resection and Anastomosis for Complicated Diverticulitis with Enterocolic Fistula

“…The NICE procedure has been shown to be a feasible and reproductible procedure by other groups. 2 This approach obviates the need for an abdominal wall incision and any extracorporeal surgical maneuvers and is associated with numerous patient benefits. 3 For those presenting with more complex diverticulitis, such as the presence of abscess, fistulizing disease, or stricture, minimally invasive approaches are associated with complications and high conversion rates due to numerous technical challenges.…”
