Robotic low anterior resection using Hugo™ RAS system: pelvic first pedicle last (PFPL) approach (video forum)

Robotic anterior resection is the standard of care for mid and low rectal cancer. Port positions, robotic arm cart positions, camera flip technique, and optimum usage of the robotic instruments are very important for successful robotic procedures. This video demonstrates the step-by-step surgical technique of the pelvic first pedicle last (PFPL) approach for robotic low anterior resection, performed for rectal adenocarcinoma using a new modular robotic platform—Hugo™ RAS.
