Transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS) can be utilized to manage a wide variety of rectal lesions but can be technically demanding with traditional laparoscopic equipment. Robotic platforms such as the da Vinci Single Port system can reduce the technical barriers of TAMIS and allow more complicated lesions to be addressed. Robotic TAMIS with the SP system follows similar indications for local excision of benign and malignant lesions as conventional TAMIS or even transanal endoscopic microsurgery. We describe our initial experience using the SP system and provide technical suggestions for how to incorporate this technology. We also address innovations in flexible endoscopic robotic surgery that we anticipate will allow for increased use of organ preservation of the colon and rectum, as well as possibly expand the use of natural orifice surgery.

Background: Transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) is a promising and innovative approach for lower rectal cancer but requires high technical skill and learning process that can affect patient outcomes. We aimed to determine the learning curve of TaTME and then to assess its impact on 5-year oncologic outcomes.
Methods: Over a 54-month period, 94 patients underwent TaTME by experienced laparoscopic colorectal surgeons at our department.

Background: Rectal cancer (RC) commonly affects older patients. Total Neoadjuvant Therapy (TNT) has been introduced to improve local and systemic control of RC. The aim was to present real-world data of older patients receiving TNT followed by surgery after a frailty assessment and verify feasibility and safety of this approach.
