Abstract
Adoption of the robotic platform as a minimally invasive option for right colectomy has not been as rapid as for robotic rectal resections, possibly because laparoscopic technical challenges are more evident in the narrow confines of the pelvis. Even outside of the pelvis, where laparoscopic colectomies have been conducted since 1991, adoption of the laparoscopic approach appears to have plateaued at 50–60%, suggesting the need for a minimally invasive option that surgeons are more willing to embrace than the traditional open colectomy.
