Excerpt

Laparoscopic colorectal surgery (LCS) was first described in the 1990s and for the most part has become the standard of care for colorectal surgery. Robotic-assisted colorectal surgery (RACS) was described around the year 2000, and advocates argue that it overcomes many issues associated with laparoscopic surgery, particularly in surgery for rectal cancer. More recently, the bottom-up minimally invasive approach, transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME), for rectal surgery has gained popularity, and it has perceived advantages over laparoscopic rectal surgery. …
