Core Tip
Core Tip: This retrospective study examined the efficacy and safety of a novel surgical procedure called robotic resection using the natural orifice specimen extraction surgery I-type F method (R-NOSES I-F) for lower rectal cancer. Through a comparison with robotic-assisted low rectal cancer resection, the study demonstrates that R-NOSES I-F is a safe and effective minimally invasive surgical approach for low rectal cancer. It offers several benefits, including decreased postoperative pain, improved gastrointestinal function recovery, reduced abdominal wall dysfunction, and avoidance of complications associated with abdominal wall incisions. Furthermore, R-NOSES I-F does not negatively impact anal and urinary functions and does not increase the risk of local recurrence or distant metastasis.
