Left Hemicolectomy and Total Colectomy
摘要
Robotic colectomy, including left hemicolectomy and total colectomy, is one of the robotic approaches of colorectal surgery gaining high popularity and broader acceptance. This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the indications, operative steps, and future directions for this evolving field. The operative steps, from preoperative planning to postoperative care, were examined, shedding light on the specialized techniques involved. Future directions, including suprapubic approach, single-site robotic surgery, and single-site da Vinci SP® surgical system, underscore the innovative directions of robotic colonic surgery in regard to total and left colectomy. This chapter serves as an in-depth exploration offering valuable insights for surgeons and researchers in the field.
