Background: Peritoneal carcinomatosis in colorectal cancer is an advanced stage of the disease where improved survival can be attained whenever the resection associated with hyperthermic intreperitoneal chemotherapy is possible. In unresectable cases, systemic chemotherapy is administered to obtain conversion to resectability but results have not yet been clearly evaluated. Local chemotherapy in this setting has been proven useful in several similar situations.

- R-TME (robotic total mesorectal excision) is a promising method for treating rectal cancer that is safe and effective, but it has faced mixed comparisons with L-TME (laparoscopic total mesorectal excision), particularly for high-risk patients.
- Between October 2009 and March 2013, a study compared 60 R-TME surgeries with 60 L-TME surgeries, focusing on various surgical outcomes such as blood loss, hospital stay, and complication rates.
- The results indicated that while both methods were similar in many outcomes, R-TME had a longer operative time but provided a more effective approach for complete rectal dissection in difficult cases compared to L-TME.
Surgery has still a key role in curative treatment of digestive carcinomas, and for almost all localisations, lymph node status is a major prognostic factor. As far as oesophageal and gastric cancer are concerned, there is not yet any internationally standardized approach. Occidental guidelines recommend more limited lymph node dissections than Asiatic ones.
