| Summary: | Aim: The aim of the study was to compare the short-term surgical outcomes of robotic right colectomy (RRC) with
laparoscopic right colectomy (LRC) for colon cancer, to evaluate the safety and feasibility of the robotic surgery system.
Material and methods: A systematic literature review was conducted using the PubMed, Web of Science, Embase,
and Cochrane Library databases regarding the comparison of RRC vs. LRC for colon cancer in the last 5 years. Studies
were included as per the PICOS criteria, and relevant event data were extracted.
Results: Fifteen studies (RRC: 1116 patients; LRC: 4036 patients) were evaluated. RRC demonstrated lower conver
sion to laparotomy (p = 0.03) and shorter length of hospital stay (p = 0.01), compared with LRC. However, operation
times were longer in RRC than in LRC (p < 0.001). The estimated blood loss, retrieved lymph nodes, and overall post
operative complications were similar between RRC and LRC (p > 0.05).
Conclusions: RRC can be regarded as a feasible and safe technique for colon cancer. |
