Key Points

  • Robotic-assisted colectomy addresses ergonomic and technical challenges effectively in situs inversus totalis.
  • Key evidence shows enhanced outcomes through patient-specific port mapping and preoperative imaging.
  • Case report details the successful implementation of sigmoidectomy and D3 lymphadenectomy techniques.
  • Findings support using robotic technology for complex anatomical variations in surgical settings.

Abstract

This case demonstrates that robotic-assisted colectomy can effectively overcome the ergonomic and technical challenges posed by SIT. Patient-specific port mapping, guided by preoperative imaging, is essential to maximize the benefits of robotic technology. Furthermore, this report contributes to the limited evidence supporting robotic colectomy as a feasible and advantageous approach for patients with SIT.
