Robotic surgery for complex rectal cancer cases: enhancing precision in challenging scenarios

Jim Khan, MBBS, MSc, PhD, FCPS (Surg), FRCS (Glasg), FRCS (Gen Burg), FASCRS, Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust, Portsmouth, UK, discusses the advantages of robotic surgery, emphasizing that while most cases could be performed robotically, the technology is particularly beneficial for challenging cases such as large tumors, narrow pelvic areas, mid-to-low rectal cancers, and high BMI patients post-chemoradiotherapy. He believes that the biggest benefits of robotics are seen in these complex scenarios. This interview took place at the ESSO 43 congress in Antwerp, Belgium.
