18 Robotic Surgery Application Otolaryngology Head & Neck Surgery Gastrointestinal Surgery Cardiothoracic Surgery Cardiology and Electrophysiology Urology Gynecology Neurosurgery Orthopedic Pediatric

19 Laparoscopic Surgery Standard of care for most benign and malignant colorectal disease. Less post-operative pain Better Cosmesis Early return of bowel function Shorter hospital stay Without sacrificing oncological clearance.

20 Laparoscopic Surgery - Shortcomings of laparoscopic surgery Two dimensional view Dexterity of instruments within the abdominal space Fixed instruments tips with 4 degree of freedom Possible misalignment of hands and instruments

21 Robotic Surgery The da Vinci Surgical system was developed to overcome shortcomings of laparoscopy.. Three dimensional imaging Stable camera and operating platform Articulating instruments with 7 degree of freedom Motion scaling and and tremor free movements Ergonomic Comfort

22 Open Versus Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery Cancer Treatment Reviews 2008 Vol 34,

23 Open versus Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery

24 Open versus Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery Twelve trials More than 3346 patients No difference in recurrence rate No difference in Cancer related mortality

25 Open versus Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery

26 Open versus Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery. For any stage, 3 year survival and disease free interval are not worse in patients undergoing laparoscopic versus conventional open resection

27 Laparoscopic Vs Open Surgery for rectal Cancer. COLOR II. A randomized clinical trial comparing laparoscopic and open surgery for rectal cancer. - International Clinical Trial - Primary end point: Loco-regional recurrence rate - Secondary end point: Disease free survival, post operative morbidity, quality of life and health economy analysis. The results and safety of Laparoscopic Surgery in the treatment of rectal cancer remains unknown

28 Laparoscopic Rectal Surgery. Technical Complexity and long Learning curve can compromise oncologic Outcomes..

29 Laparoscopic Rectal Surgery Ninety operation required to achieve oncological safety.

30 Robotic Rectal Surgery Stable view and precise movements make the Robot specially appropriate for manipulation of tissue in a closed and fixed space We believe that robotics could be relevant in the treatment of rectal cancer.

31 Robotic Colorectal Surgery Relatively new approach. SURG ENDOSC 2002 Vol. 16, Number 8,

32 Robotic Colorectal Surgery

33 Robotic Colorectal Surgery Relatively new approach. DIS COLON RECTUM 2002 Vol. 45, Number 12,

34 Robotic Colorectal Surgery - Robotic Assisted Technique for the mobilization of the bowel - Three arm da Vinci System - Three-trocar Technique - Division of the Mesentery and Anastomosis performed with standard laparoscopic assisted technique. - Operative time (180) - No Complication - Expected postoperative course

59 Conclusion The evolution of Robotic Surgery is limited due to small numbers of high volume centers The Robotic Technology will radically change general surgery and the fractionated subspecialties

60 Conclusion The Robotic assisted surgery for benign and malignant disease of colon and rectum is safe and feasible Total Mesorectal Excision can be performed safely and effectively using the robotic system The clinical and oncological outcomes of the Robotic Total Mesorectal Excision can be compared with standard and open approach.
