Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of robot-assisted extended total mesorectal excision (R-eTME) versus laparoscopic-assisted extended total mesorectal excision (L-eTME) in treating patients with lateral lymph node metastasis, following concurrent neoadjuvant chemo-radiation and total mesorectal excision (TME).
- Results indicate that R-eTME has advantages over L-eTME in terms of lower overall recurrence rates and fewer urinary complications, while L-eTME was associated with longer hospital stays and slightly shorter operative times.
- The conclusion emphasizes that, although both techniques share similar long-term outcomes, R-eTME appears to be the better option for reducing
Liver disease is increasing in incidence and is the third most common cause of premature death in the United Kingdom and fourth in the United States. Liver disease accounts for 2 million deaths globally each year. Three-quarters of patients with liver disease are diagnosed at a late stage, with liver transplantation as the only definitive treatment.
