Robotic total colectomy and ileorectal anastomosis: Jonathan Yu Jin Chua, Nan Zun Teo, James Chi-Yong Ngu; Ann Coloproctol. 2024;40(2):186-187. Published online April 22, 2024; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3393/ac.2024.00066.0009

Abstract PDF Supplementary Material: The benefits of minimally invasive approaches in colorectal surgery have been well demonstrated. However, some hesitancy remains with regards to the utilization of the robotic platform for total colectomies, mostly due to the perceived need for multiple re-dockings in multiquadrant surgery. This video aims to demonstrate how the robotic platform can be efficiently utilized in multiquadrant surgery without the need for multiple re-dockings, as well as some tips on how to overcome the potential challenges that may be encountered during this procedure.

Tips and tricks for robotic lateral pelvic node dissection: James Chi-Yong Ngu, Nan-Zun Teo; Ann Coloproctol. 2023;39(6):531-531. Published online December 26, 2023; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3393/ac.2023.00766.0109

Abstract PDF Supplementary Material: Lateral pelvic node dissection can be challenging. In addition to detailed anatomical knowledge of the pelvic side wall, surgeons also need to be proficient in performing fine dissection within the confines of this limited operative field. While the incorporation of robotics can facilitate the safe completion of this technically demanding procedure, this is nonetheless dependent on the way the robotic system is used. This video aims to demonstrate several tips and tricks for performing robotic lateral pelvic node dissection.
