Robotic-assisted total mesorectal excision with the aid of a single-port device.

Unlabelled: INTRODUCTION AND INDICATIONS: Robotic surgery has numerous advantages in rectal cancer surgery. Studies have reported the advantages associated with single-port approaches, such as eliminating the need for additional incisions, as well as the difficulties inherent in this technique. The authors present a hybrid technique that they performed using a robotic total mesorectal excision with the aid of a single port-device.
