Robotic surgery versus laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer: a comparative study on surgical safety and functional outcomes
No significant differences in surgical safety or immediate postoperative outcomes were observed between robotic and laparoscopic approaches. However, robotic surgery demonstrated superior lymph node dissection, anal function preservation, and gastrointestinal recovery, enhancing overall functional outcomes.
