Abstract
The surgical use of robotic systems stems from a military medical research effort. Since then it has been applied to several surgical specialties as the technological reply to overcome the inherent limitations of laparoscopy [1]. To date, however, scientific evidence about the clinical advantages of robotic colonic surgery over laparoscopy is still lacking.
