An International Multicentre Retrospective Cohort Study Evaluating Robot-Assisted Total Mesorectal Excision in Experienced Dutch, French, and United Kingdom Centres—The EUREKA Collaborative
Robot-assisted total mesorectal excision performed by experienced surgeons in high-volume European centres is safe, with low conversion rates, acceptable complication rates, and favourable oncological outcomes. These findings underscore the potential of robot-assisted total mesorectal excision as a standard approach for rectal cancer in specialised settings.
