Excerpt
Surgical resection of rectal cancer has the strongest impact on oncologic outcomes. Surgeons are still struggling with difficult patients such as males, obese individuals, or those with narrow pelvis. Combination of a robotic approach with a transanal approach (transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME)-Cecil approach) could be the solution, allowing more precise dissection in the deep and narrow pelvic cavity [
1]. The robotic system has the advantages of high-definition three-dimensional vision and articular instruments. The following video shows a combined robotic and transanal approach for locally advanced rectal cancer. …
