Abstract

Due to advances in technology and surgical technique, the da Vinci robot has become increasingly relevant in the field of colorectal surgery. This approach is particularly applicable to the technical challenges of pelvic dissection, which require precise movements in a confined space. Improved visualization can lead to lower conversion rate to open surgery, fewer complications, and shorter hospital stay (Baik et al., Ann Surg Oncol 16(6):1480–1487, 2009). This chapter will review the operative techniques of a hybrid robotic-assisted low anterior resection, abdominoperineal resection, and rectopexy.
