Abstract

In this chapter we describe a standardized approach for robotic colonic resections from the splenic flexure to the peritoneal reflection (i.e., left colectomy) for benign and malignant diseases. Advantages and pitfalls of the robotic technique are highlighted. Potential intraoperative difficulties and complications are also addressed.
