Feasibility and outcomes of robotic colorectal cancer surgery in patients with high body mass index

Puntos clave

The aim is to evaluate the feasibility and safety of robotic colorectal surgery in patients with a high body mass index.
Assessment of surgical outcomes in elevated BMI patients.
Monitoring anaesthetic complications during surgery.
Evaluation of conversion rates to traditional surgery.
Robotic surgery was found to be feasible and safe for patients with high BMI.
Conversion rates to traditional surgery were low.
Morbidity remained acceptable, with minimal complications observed.

Resumen

Robotic colorectal surgery is a feasible and safe option in elevated BMI patients, with low conversion rates and acceptable morbidity. Importantly, prolonged Trendelenburg position did not appear to increase anaesthetic risk, with only one reversible positioning-related complication observed.
