Application of da Vinci robotic surgical system in the radical resection of colorectal cancer

The da Vinci robotic surgical system assisted colorectal radical resection has been widely applied in many countries and regions.The advantages of the da Vinci robotic surgical system include stable and distinct stereoscopic vision,short learning curve,convenient operation and feasibility of remote manipulation,while its disadvantages are expensive cost,lack of tremor and prolonged operation time.The advantage of da Vinci robotic surgical system is not distinct when compared with traditional laparoscope in radical resection of colorectal cancer.With the accumulation of clinical data and the update of the system,the prospect of da Vinci robotic surgical system assisted colorectal radical resection is promising.
