Robot-assisted low anterior resection for a rectal cancer patient with ileal conduit: A case report.

Surgery for rectal cancer patients with an ileal conduit after total cystectomy is difficult because adhesions in the pelvis and around the ileal conduit are expected. In the present case, we performed robot-assisted low anterior resection of the rectum in a 69-year-old male patient with rectal cancer who underwent ileal conduit diversion after total cystectomy. In this procedure, the port was inserted into the left upper abdomen as a first step, and two additional ports were added on the left side.

Robot-assisted surgery for rectal cancer with solitary sacrococcygeal metastasis after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy: A case report.

An 81-year-old man was referred to our hospital for anal bleeding. Colonoscopy revealed a type 3 tumor at the upper rectum and biopsy showed adenocarcinoma. An enhanced circumferential lesion at the upper rectum and a solitary soft-tissue shadow at the fifth sacral vertebra to the coccyx were detected on abdominal magnetic resonance imaging.
