A Single Surgeon Experience Transitioning to Robotic Right Colectomy with Intracorporeal Anastomosis
Alexandra C Reitz, BA, Edward Lin, MD, Seth A Rosen, MD. Emory UniversityIntroduction: When performed laparoscopically, right colectomy is most commonly a hybrid procedure with hand-assistance and/or extracorporeal anastomosis (ECA) because of the technical complexity of laparoscopic anastomosis. Robotic-assisted right colectomy (RRC) may offer technical advantages over laparoscopic-assisted right colectomy enabling more surgeons to perform… Continue Reading
