BackgroundMinimally invasive colon surgery was first described in the early 1990s, decreasing the morbidity compared with open procedures. Recently, single port laparoscopy has emerged, with reports of applications to colon surgery. Although feasible, many new technical challenges exist.
MethodsAn optimal operative technique for colon resection entirely through the umbilicus, using a robot and a...
BackgroundTraditional endoscopy may cause tissue trauma and discomfort to patients because of the use of relatively long and semi‐rigid scopes.
MethodsA wireless robotic endoscope has been designed based on minimally invasive locomotion and wireless techniques for energy, monitoring, and telecontrol.
ResultsThe robotic endoscope can move forward or backward effectively in a smooth synthetic glass...
BackgroundColorectal surgery is one of the most common procedures performed by general surgeons, with an increasing number being performed laparoscopically. Robotic technology is emerging in the ongoing evolution in minimally invasive surgery. This study systematically reviews the literature regarding the safety and feasibility of robotic‐assisted colorectal surgery.
MethodsA comprehensive search...
