Robotic-assisted stereotactic real-time navigation: initial clinical experience and feasibility for rectal cancer surgery

ConclusionsThe combination of stereotactic navigation and robotic surgery is feasible, although some limitations and technical challenges were observed. For complex surgery, the addition of navigation to robotics can improve surgical precision. This will likely represent the next step in the evolution of robotics and in the development of digital surgery.
