摘要
In the last 10 years,surgery has been developing towards minimal invasiveness;therefore,robotic surgery represents the consequent evolution of laparoscopic surgery.Worldwide,surgeons’performances have been upgraded by the ergonomic developments of robotic systems,leading to several benefits for patients.The introduction into the market of the new Da Vinci Xi system has made it possible to perform all types of surgery on the colon,an in selected cases,to combine interventions in other organs or viscera at the same time.Optimization of the suprapubic surgical approach may shorten the length of hospital stay for patients who undergo robotic colonic resection.From this perspective,single-port robotic colectomy,has reduced the number of robotic ports needed,allowing a better anesthetic outcome and faster recovery.The introduction on the market of new surgical robotic systems from multiple manufacturers is bound to change the landscape of robotic surgery and yield high-quality surgical outcomes.
