Robotic Approach for Rectal Cancer: LAR with TME and Colorectal Anastomosis

Clinical Case: This video presents a robotic-assisted surgical procedure for the treatment of rectal adenocarcinoma. The footage provides a systematic, step-by-step demonstration of the key surgical milestones, covering everything from port placement and robotic docking to the precise dissection of the mesorectum, structural preservation, and the final colorectal anastomosis.

Key Highlights:

Clinical Background

• Utilization of robotic technology for enhanced precision during pelvic dissection.

• Application of Indocyanine Green (ICG) for the assessment of tissue perfusion.

• Technical strategies for left colon mobilization and ensuring the safety of the colorectal anastomosis.
