Robotic-assisted proctosigmoidectomy for Hirschsprung's disease: A multicenter prospective study.

Background: Robotic surgery is a cutting-edge minimally invasive technique that overcomes many shortcomings of laparoscopic techniques, yet few studies have evaluated the use of robotic surgery to treat Hirschsprung's disease (HSCR).

Aim: To analyze the feasibility and medium-term outcomes of robotic-assisted proctosigmoidectomy (RAPS) with sphincter- and nerve-sparing surgery in HSCR patients.

Methods: From July 2015 to January 2022, 156 rectosigmoid HSCR patients were enrolled in this multicenter prospective study.
