Types of Robotic surgeries to treat rectal cancer

Robotic surgery has revolutionized the field of rectal cancer treatment by providing surgeons with enhanced precision, control, and visualization. Here are some types of robotic surgeries commonly used for rectal cancer treatment

Robot-Assisted Low Anterior Resection (LAR): This procedure involves removing the cancerous part of the rectum while preserving the sphincter muscles.

Latest technologies to treat rectal cancer

Low-anterior-resection

When the rectal cancer is at least 3 cm away from the anal verge, the surgeon can salvage the sphincter & perform the connection necessary to pass the stool from the natural route. This procedure involves the use of special staplers & surgical dexterity. Sometimes, an operation called inter-sphincteric resection is possible.

Abdomino-perineal-resection

When the tumour is located in the distal most part of the rectum, it is usually not possible to preserve the anal sphincter. The surgeon will remove the tumour along with the anus to prevent any future tumour recurrence in the local area. The surgeon will perform an end sigmoid colostomy over the abdominal wall for stool passage.

Colostomy
In cases where the tumour has grown significantly to block the intestinal lumen, the surgeon may need to perform an operation to temporarily divert the stool. Such a procedure is called a stoma. It is usually a temporary procedure.
