Feasibility of Robotic-Assisted Surgery in Advanced Rectal Cancer: VITRUVIANO Trial
Key Findings
The study assessed the outcomes of robotic surgery in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer. The results highlighted the feasibility of robotic-assisted surgery when strict surgeon experience criteria are met.
Practical Solutions
The study emphasized the importance of surgeon experience, with a criterion of more than 40 robotically assisted operations for rectal cancer, to ensure successful outcomes in advanced cases.
Value
This study provides valuable insights into the potential benefits of robotic-assisted surgery in locally advanced rectal cancer, offering a practical solution to improving patient outcomes and reducing postoperative complications.
