Robotic intracorporeal continuous double hand-sewn versus laparoscopic assisted extracorporeal anastomosis for left-colectomy: A single-center retrospective cohort

Key Points

• Robotic continuous double hand-sewn anastomosis performed better in key surgical outcomes, including reduced recovery time.
• A significant difference in complications was noted, with the robotic method showing fewer adverse events compared to its counterpart.
• In a retrospective cohort study, records of patients undergoing left-colectomy were analyzed across various surgical centers in the region.
• Highlighting the importance of adopting advanced surgical techniques could improve outcomes and patient satisfaction.
