Robotic Right Colectomy: Three-Arm Technique

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Robotics in General Surgery

Abstract

Laparoscopic colectomy has been shown to have significant advantages over open colectomy. The enhanced dexterity afforded by the robotic system may facilitate the adoption of a minimally invasive approach to colectomies. Robotic right colectomy is safe and feasible and may be an ideal case for a surgeon’s initial experience with robotic techniques. Operative times and perioperative complications are comparable to laparoscopic colectomy, and limited studies suggest oncologic outcomes to be equivalent as well. One of the obvious advantages of the robotic approach is the facilitation of an intracorporeal anastomosis and its associated advantages. A three-arm technique simplifies the setup and minimizes external robotic arm collisions.
