Key Points

To evaluate the feasibility and advantages of using the da Vinci single-port system for simultaneous resections of rectal and gastric cancers.
Utilized the da Vinci single-port robotic surgical system for surgery.
Performed simultaneous resections through a single umbilical incision.
Focused on minimizing postoperative trauma and enhancing cosmetic outcomes.
Successful simultaneous resection of rectal and gastric cancers was achieved.
Postoperative recovery indicated less pain compared to multi-port approaches.
Patients showed favorable cosmetic outcomes with minimal abdominal wall trauma.

Abstract

Background: The da Vinci single port (SP) system is a novel robotic surgical platform that allows multiple robotic instruments and a flexible camera to be introduced through a single umbilical incision. Compared with conventional multi-port robotic or laparoscopic approaches, it offers cosmetic advantages, reduced abdominal wall trauma, and potentially less postoperative pain. These features make it especially suitable for technically demanding gastrointestinal procedures, including simultaneous resections for synchronous malignancies.
