Abstract

Minimally invasive colorectal surgery has evolved from a laparoscopic procedure to various stages of purely laparoscopic, purely robotic, and hybrid techniques. This has been driven primarily by the location of the patient’s disease process, the advances in surgical skill, and the availability of enhanced technologically advanced equipment. The clinical goals have not changed. They include improved short-term outcomes, better quality of life, acceptable long-term oncologic outcomes, reduced operative times, and containing costs.
