Evaluates survival outcomes in locally advanced rectal cancer after robotic or laparoscopic surgery, suggesting surgical approaches may influence long-term results.
Background and objective: This study aimed to evaluate the long-term oncologic outcomes of robotic-assisted versus laparoscopic surgery in non-metastatic patients with locally advanced rectal cancer and to identify prognostic factors influencing overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS).
