Robotic surgery was developed to facilitate endoscopic surgery and overcome its disadvantage. Thus, we performed robotic Total Mesorectal Excison (TME) in patient with rectal cancer by using the Intuitive Surgical® da Vinci surgicalTM system (Intuitive Surgical®, Sunnyvale, CA). To our knowledge, ...this is the first robotic low anterior resection base on standard TME principle with pelvic autonomic preservation. In conclusion, Robotic system is the best operative instrument for performing the standard TME procedure in rectal cancer patients.
