A visual walkthrough of robotic partial mesorectal excision using the Versius surgical system by Amro Mureb

“…A recent systematic review on distal mesorectal spread and PME showed that for partial mesorectal excision, substantial overtreatment is present if a distal margin of more than 5 cm is routinely utilized; in addition, PME has good oncological results and leads to the best-fitted functional results possible for the patient's condition.1,2 Regarding the morbidity and oncological outcomes after PME, Kanso et al. showed that PME can be performed safely, with a low risk of definitive stoma and local recurrence and the survival rate that was observed, indicates that the prognosis is not altered compared with TME in the treatment of upper and some middle rectal tumour.3 Another study evaluating the oncological outcomes of PME in patients with upper and middle rectal cancer showed that PME and shorter resection margins do not jeopardize the oncological outcomes.4 Robotic colorectal surgery has gained popularity in the last few years as it overcomes most of the limitations of conventional laparoscopic surgery, especially when working in a confined, narrow pelvis. …”
