Status | Closed |
Category | Colorectal Cancer - Rectal Specific |
Treatment Course | Surgery |
The trial aims to test the hypothesis that robotic-assistance facilitates laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery. On short-term follow-up this should result in a reduction in the conversion rate and no worsening of the circumferential resection margin (CRM) positivity rate. On longer-term follow-up, the increased accuracy should improve post-operative bladder and sexual function, enhance quality of life (QoL), and ensure there is no increase in local disease recurrence. |
