Robotic Surgery Reduces Ergonomic Risk in Minimally Invasive Colorectal Resections
Robotic-assisted surgery with the open-console versius® system significantly reduces surgeons’ ergonomic risks and cognitive strain during major colorectal resections compared to laparoscopic surgery, without compromising team communication or patient outcomes. This may be a safe and feasible solution to prevent work-related musculoskeletal injuries in surgeons.
Removing the rectal tumor and liver spread in one operation did not clearly raise complications or hurt survival compared with two separate operations, a French national study found.
