Abstract
Obesity presents a significant public health challenge, known to escalate the risk of colorectal cancer twofold. The potential advantages of employing robotic technology in colorectal surgery for obese individuals remain mostly unexplored. A comprehensive search of articles retrieved from Scopus, PubMed, and the Cochrane Library for the duration of January 2014 to March 2024 was performed, without language limitations. Meta-analysis was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. The study compared results of robotic rectal cancer resections in obese patients (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2) with those in non-obese counterparts. Out of 2410 full-text articles studied, 7 met the inclusion criteria and underwent final analysis. The study included 963 non-obese and 371 obese patients. Operative time produce significant variance in non-obese patients. However, DRM, CRM, HLN, length of hospital stays, conversion rate, and overall complications did not show any statistically significant differences. Robotic surgery for rectal cancer had no clinically significant influence in obese group patients, and postoperative complications are same as in non-obese group except duration of surgery.
期刊介绍:
The aim of the Journal of Robotic Surgery is to become the leading worldwide journal for publication of articles related to robotic surgery, encompassing surgical simulation and integrated imaging techniques. The journal provides a centralized, focused resource for physicians wishing to publish their experience or those wishing to avail themselves of the most up-to-date findings.The journal reports on advance in a wide range of surgical specialties including adult and pediatric urology, general surgery, cardiac surgery, gynecology, ENT, orthopedics and neurosurgery.The use of robotics in surgery is broad-based and will undoubtedly expand over the next decade as new technical innovations and techniques increase the applicability of its use. The journal intends to capture this trend as it develops.
