Article Synopsis
- Telerobotic surgery enhances laparoscopic dexterity, with over 100 procedures performed using the Da Vinci system, particularly focusing on colonic surgeries.
- Two patients underwent robotic-assisted sigmoidectomies, with some complications, while three other patients underwent colon resections for cancer, all utilizing a four-trocar technique.
- Results indicated that surgeries were completed successfully in acceptable times, although some cases required conversion to laparotomy due to complications, highlighting both the safety and limitations of telerobotic surgery in the colonic field, with concerns about costs and instrument availability.
