Abstract
Robotic hybrid rectal resection is a safe and feasible surgical technique for the management of benign and malignant rectal diseases. In general, available data demonstrate that the robotic hybrid approach results in similar clinical and pathological outcomes as compared to conventional laparoscopy. While totally robotic rectal surgery, also referred to as single-stage robotic rectal surgery, has demonstrated to be a viable approach for the management of rectal diseases, we tend to approach the majority of the robotic rectal resections with a hybrid technique. Our preference for the hybrid technique is based on several factors, which will be discussed in this chapter; however, it is important to recognize that the approach may be altered based on individual case characteristics.
