Safety and Efficacy of a Novel Miniaturized Robotic-Assisted Surgery System in Colectomy: A Prospective, Investigational Device Exemption Clinical Study Using the IDEAL Framework.

However, robotic surgery was associated with a decreasing trend in overall morbidity in a cohort study of 78,987 elective colectomy procedures (2013–2018) reviewed within the American College of Surgeon-National Surgical Quality Improvement Program Program. 4 This study demonstrated that robotic surgery is independently associated with a lower rate of short-term morbidity and surgical conversion compared to both open and laparoscopic approaches while allowing a decrease in length of stay (LOS).
