Robotic complete mesocolic excision for transverse colon cancer can be performed with a morbidity profile similar to that of conventional  laparoscopic colectomy

ConclusionsRobotic CME can be performed with a similar morbidity profile as laparoscopic CC for transverse colon cancer along with a higher rate of intracorporeal anastomosis, and higher number of lymph nodes retrieved, but longer operative times.
