Abstract

This chapter will review the operative technique and advanced approach to perform a robotic transanal minimally invasive surgery (R-TAMIS) and a robotic transanal total mesorectal excision (R-TME). We will briefly describe indications and preoperative study, topics covered in the management of rectal cancer, and we will focus the chapter to outline the surgical technique and landmarks of R-TAMIS and R-TME.
