TY - JOUR AU - Cleary, Robert K. PY - 2019 TI - Operative choice for colon and rectal cancer: what matters? JF - Annals of Laparoscopic and Endoscopic Surgery; Vol 4 (January 2019): Annals of Laparoscopic and Endoscopic Surgery Y2 - 2019 KW - N2 - Thearticle entitled “Long-term outcomes of robot-assisted surgeryin patients with colorectal cancer”, published in the Annals of SurgicalOncology, is a timely analysis of oncologic outcomes comparing robotic andconventional laparoscopic techniques (1). Several other studies have demonstratedequivalent short-term outcomes between robotic and laparoscopic groups,including postoperative complications and hospital length of stay (2-5).However, long-term oncologic outcomes for the robotic approach have not yetbeen well evaluated.
