Technical benefits of robot-assisted surgery for colorectal resection: Robotic techniques and robotic colorectal surgery constitute an emerging field that has helped surgeons to overcome some technical difficulties in the conventional laparoscopic approach. However, the balance between costs and benefits, as well as some specific indications, remain controversial. The combination of 3D visualization, a stable camera and articulated instruments that simulate the movements of the human wrist are the features that seem to provide greater surgical precision. Antonio M. Lacy, Raquel Bravo and Amelia Hessheimer demonstrated live all these benefits for the AIS Channel Community during a sigmoid resection.
