Why is it important?

To determine the effectiveness of robotic laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer and identify future knowledge gap to examine the cost-effectiveness of robotic laparoscopic surgery

Perspectives

Robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery improves clinical outcomes (lower mortality, blood loss, and infection) in colorectal cancer, at the expenses of longer duration of operation time.
