Use of robotic surgery is increasing in multiple surgical specialties including colorectal. We argue that the improved visualization and better instrumentation outweigh the increased cost and operating room time. However, the indications for its use are not clearly defined. This is especially true in complex pathologies such as rectal cancer and complicated diverticulitis. We explore the limited clinical data on the subject to support or dismiss the use of this currently developing technology.
机器人手术在包括结直肠外科在内的多个外科专科中的应用正在增加。我们认为，其改善的可视化效果和更好的器械性能超过了增加的成本和手术室时间。然而，其使用指征尚未明确界定。在诸如直肠癌和复杂性憩室炎等复杂病理情况下尤其如此。我们探讨了关于该主题的有限临床数据，以支持或反对使用这种目前正在发展的技术。
