Method(s): A series of 201 consecutive patients relating to a single surgeon's experience when transforming total minimal invasive practice from laparoscopic to robotic surgery were included. Patients underwent laparoscopic and robotic surgery between 2018 and 2023. Short-term and long-term outcomes were evaluated and compared between the Laparoscopy (LG) and robotic (RG) with subgroup analyses according to procedure. Result(s): The median age and length of hospital stay (LOS) were 64 years and 6 days, respectively. Indications for surgery were CRC (62.2%), IBD (27.4%) and other general surgery conditions (hernia, appendicectomy, de-functioning loop colostomy, complex diverticular disease and rectal prolapse) (10.4%). The surgical approach was laparoscopic in 62 patients (30.8%) and Robotic in 139 patients (69.2%). Conversion to open was 12.9% in the LG versus 0% in the RG (p = 0.001). Regarding postoperative complications, the RG showed lower rate of overall complications [CD&gt;=2 complications 14.3% in RG versus 16.1% in LG, p = 0.02], paralytic ileus [p = 0.03] and shorter LOS (p = 0.001) in comparison to LG. Moreover, both groups showed no difference in anastomosis leak [RG 1.3% vs LG 0%, p = 0.3], abdominal collection [RG 2.8% vs LG 2.5%, p = 0.5], re-operation [RG 1.4% vs LG 1.6%, p = 0.9], 30-day re-admission [RG 7.9% vs LG 8%, p = 0.9] and 30-day mortality [RG 0.7% vs LG 0%, p = 0.5]. Moreover, the RG remained superior when subgroup analyses were applied for anterior resection (39.3%), Right hemicolectomy (28.4%) and subtotal colectomy (13.4%). Conclusion(s): Robotic colorectal surgery improves clinical and surgical outcomes. This minimally invasive approach is the choice in a total transformation of practice from laparoscopic to robotic surgery, leading to significant reductions in LOS, rapid postoperative recovery, and an earlier return of gut function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>DOI:&nbsp;<\/strong>10.1111\/codi.17125<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/libkey.io\/libraries\/1791\/articles\/628539496\/full-text-file\">Link to full-text<\/a> [no password required]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Type of publication: Conference abstract Author(s): Mohamedahmed A.; Abdalla H.E.; *Ismail A.; Yassin N.A.
