Feasibility and Safety of Single-Incision Robotic Assisted Colorectal Surgery

In a nonrandomized cohort pilot study, researchers explored the feasibility and safety of single-incision robotic-assisted surgery (SIRAS) using the Shurui Endoscopic Surgical Robotic System (SR-ENS-600). Seven patients underwent successful SIRAS for colorectal malignancy. The SR-ENS-600 platform exhibited preferable maneuverability/stability in confined fields. Although one case encountered intraoperative hemorrhage, overall outcomes were satisfactory, with no short-term complications or mortality. While affirming SIRAS feasibility, larger investigations are crucial for establishing safety and superiority in selected patients.
