Abstract
Minimally invasive approaches to colorectal disease and cancer have been largely accepted and new techniques are being explored on several fronts. Robotic and robotic-assisted laparoscopic colorectal dissection is one such area and has become more and more relevant in this field. This approach is especially important for cases requiring precise movements in a limited space, such as in pelvic dissections. The use of the robotic technique has led to improved outcomes and lower rates of conversion and, in some areas, reduced morbidity. In this chapter, we will review our operative techniques of robotic-assisted abdominoperineal resection (APR).
