Core Tip

Core Tip: This study compared the short- and medium-term efficacy of Da Vinci robot-assisted surgery with traditional laparoscopic surgery in total mesangectomy for rectal cancer, involving indexes such as operation time, postoperative complications, postoperative pain, and postoperative rehabilitation. By comparing and analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of the two surgical methods, the influence on the treatment effect and quality of life of the patients was evaluated, and the scientific basis for clinical decision-making was provided.
