Can surgical approach and postoperative factors impact survival in rectal cancer? Robotic vs. laparoscopic insights

Background and objective: This study aimed to evaluate the long-term oncologic outcomes of robotic-assisted versus laparoscopic surgery in non-metastatic patients with locally advanced rectal cancer and to identify prognostic factors influencing overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS).
