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

Key Points

• 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.
