Short- and long-term outcomes of robot-assisted versus laparoscopic lateral lymph node dissection for rectal cancer
Patients with locally advanced rectal cancer who underwent TME plus R-LLND had a significantly lower incidence of postoperative complications and a significantly shorter postoperative hospital stay compared to those who underwent TME plus L-LLND. The long-term outcomes were comparable, and no oncological concerns associated with R-LLND were observed.
