There is insufficient evidence to conclude that robotic -
assisted laparoscopic surgery, compared with conventional laparoscopic surgery, reduces the risk of conversion to open laparotomy when performed by surgeons of varying experience with robotic - assisted surgery.
In contrast to other studies, hemorrhage was not more frequently associated with robotic -
assisted laparoscopic surgery.27 Rectal cancer surgery is a high - risk intervention, with 32.4 % of patients experiencing a complication within 30 days and 15.5 % of patients having complications between 30 days and 6 months.
In this study, to our knowledge the largest randomized clinical trial of robotic -
assisted laparoscopic surgery for patients with rectal adenocarcinoma suitable for curative resection, there were no statistically significant differences in the rates of conversion to open laparotomy for robotic -
assisted laparoscopic surgery compared with conventional laparoscopic surgery (8.1 % vs 12.2 %, respectively), and there were no statistically significant differences in CRM +, complication rates, or quality of life at 6 months.
The researchers found that there were no statistically significant differences in the rates of conversion to open laparotomy for robotic -
assisted laparoscopic surgery compared with conventional laparoscopic surgery (8.1 percent vs 12.2 percent, respectively), and there were no statistically significant differences in complication rates or quality of life at six months.
