Completeness of total mesorectum excision of laparoscopic versus robotic surgery: a review with a meta-analysis

ConclusionsOur results underline that the robotic approach to rectal resection is the better way to obtain a complete TME. However, it is mandatory that randomized clinical trials should be performed to assess definitively if robotic minimally invasive surgery is better than a laparoscopic resection.
