Oncological and anorectal functional outcomes of robot-assisted intersphincteric resection in lower rectal cancer, particularly the extent of sphincter resection and sphincter saving

ConclusionsBecause ISR involves resection of low-lying tumors and complex pelvic dissection, robot-assisted ISR via a mostly transabdominal procedure may be technically more efficient, providing lasting anorectal function and good oncologic outcomes.
