Initial experience of abdominal total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer using the da Vinci single port system.

From November 2021 to February 2022, 15 patients underwent total abdominal mesorectal excision for rectal cancer using the da Vinci single port system. The clinical and pathological results were analyzed retrospectively. All surgeries were performed without conversion.

A comparative study on the short-term clinical outcomes of Da Vinci SP versus Da Vinci Xi for rectal cancer surgery.

Purpose: The Da Vinci SP robot system was recently introduced, but its safety and feasibility for rectal cancer compared with the currently used robot system have not been reported.

Methods: This was a single-centre retrospective study. Data from patients who underwent abdominal total mesorectal excision (TME) from October 2015 to October 2022 were analysed.
