Robotic colorectal surgery leads to significantly shorter hospital stays compared to laparoscopic and open techniques.

• Patients stayed in the hospital for an average of 5.6 days with robotic surgery, versus 7.9 days for laparoscopic and 11.2 days for open surgery.
• The robotic approach also resulted in lower readmission rates and better overall patient outcomes.

Surgeons should consider robotic techniques to optimize patient recovery and resource use.
