Expanding the boundaries of minimally invasive surgery: the feasibility of robotic natural orifice transluminal extraction colectomy and robotic no-incision colectomy in colorectal practice

R-NOTEC/R-NIC offer significant promise in colorectal surgery by minimizing trauma, expediting recovery, and maintaining oncologic safety. Nevertheless, these procedures require specialized surgical expertise and careful patient selection. Further research should focus on long-term outcomes and standardization of these techniques. .
