Robotic Colorectal Surgery for Neoplasia.

Robotic colorectal surgery has become increasingly prevalent, with several reported benefits for surgeons and patients alike. Although its use is well-supported for pelvic surgery, there is less evidence that it is beneficial for abdominal surgery. There are several technical limitations of robotic surgery, and newer generations of robot platforms have addressed these, which may lead to increased use in the near future. In general, robotic surgery is more beneficial for surgeons than it is for patients.
