AI Article Synopsis
- The paper reviews recent studies on single-port robotic surgery for colonic diseases, highlighting its development and application.
- A systematic search of PubMed was conducted to gather studies from 2008 to 2015 regarding robotic single-port colectomy.
- While single-port robotic colectomy is considered safe and feasible, there is a need for further advancements in surgical platforms and more supporting evidence in the field.
Article Abstract
Introduction: The present paper reviews evidence and examines updates in single-port robotic surgery for colonic diseases reported in contemporary studies.
Materials And Methods: A comprehensive online systematic search of PubMed databases was carried out in June 2015, identifying studies conducted on robotic single-port colectomy from 2008 to 2015.
Results: The advantages and disadvantages of several available port-access systems, techniques for configuring robotic arms, and robotic surgical platforms, were presented.
Conclusions: Current studies show that single-port robotic colectomy is a safe and feasible procedure despite the lack of supporting evidence. Although significant advancements in the development and modification of single-access ports, configuration of robotic arms, and robotic surgical platforms have been achieved in the field of single-port robotic surgery for colonic disease, significant improvements to surgical platforms for single-port robotic surgery are needed.
