Case report demonstrates robotic salvage surgery for lateral local recurrence in rectal cancer, suggesting feasibility in complex procedures.
INTRODUCTION: Lateral local recurrence (LLR) is a recognized pattern of local recurrence in patients with low rectal cancer (LRC) following curative resection, and salvage surgery for LLR is technically challenging. Recent studies have reported the feasibility of robotic lateral lymph node dissection (LLND) in patients with LRC; however, data regarding the safety and usefulness of robotic salvage surgery for LLR after LLND remain limited. Herein, we report a case of robotic salvage tumor resection with combined resection of the internal iliac vessels (IIVs) and ureter for LLR following LLND.
