Abstract:

Background: The role of robotic surgery for Transverse Colon Cancer (TCC) remains controversial. There are few reported cases using the Da Vinci robot. Following the CARE Guidelines, we report our early experience and technique using the robotic approach for TCC segmental resection and its potential advantages. Case Report: A 74-year-old woman, diagnosed with transverse colon cancer, was referred to our department. The preoperative diagnosis was cT1N0M0, Stage I. We performed transverse colon resection using da Vinci Xi system without any complications. The operative time was 370 min and the blood loss was 100 ml. Conclusion: We report our experience with robotic surgery for TCC with a suprapubic approach that resulted to be safe and feasible for low-stage mid-transverse colon cancer. We believe that this approach will find increasing use, allowing a safer application of minimally invasive robotic surgery. However, more research is required to draw firm conclusions on this topic.
