Case report demonstrates effectiveness of robotic surgery for simultaneous resection in gastrointestinal cancer, suggesting a preferable technique.
Background: The da Vinci single port (SP) system is a novel robotic surgical platform that allows multiple robotic instruments and a flexible camera to be introduced through a single umbilical incision. Compared with conventional multi-port robotic or laparoscopic approaches, it offers cosmetic advantages, reduced abdominal wall trauma, and potentially less postoperative pain. These features make it especially suitable for technically demanding gastrointestinal procedures, including simultaneous resections for synchronous malignancies.
