Flexible robotic transanal resection of rectal polyps - A case series.

Background: Flexible systems in robotic transanal surgery (RTA) are a proposed solution to the challenges of transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS). RTA was performed with the Medrobotics Flex Robotics System to determine its safety and feasibility.

Methods: Medrobotics Flex Robotics System was used for transanal resection of benign rectal polyps by a single surgeon in a tertiary centre, and cases retrospectively reviewed.
