Robot-Assisted Colon Resection
Definition
Robot-assisted colon resection is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that involves the use of a robotic system to assist surgeons in removing a portion of the colon affected by diseases such as cancer, diverticulitis, or inflammatory bowel disease. The robotic system provides enhanced precision, control, and visualization, which may result in reduced blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery times compared to traditional open surgery.
