Evaluation of SINGLE PORT (SP) Robotic Technology in Colorectal Surgery

Summary

Currently a multiport robotic surgery platform (Intuitive Xi) is widely available and used for colorectal surgery indications. A Single port platform (Intuitive SP) is FDA approved for Head and Neck and Urology but has not been widely used in colorectal surgery. This study seeks to evaluate the safe and effective use of the SP platform for colorectal surgery indications.

* There is documentation of a colorectal diagnosis requiring operative interventions with clinical plans for a robotic operation.
* For robotic transanal procedures, patients who would meet standard guidelines for a transanal procedures (T1N0 rectal adenocarcinoma, Precancerous adenomas, and localized neuroendocrine tumors) distal to 15 cm from the anal verge.
