The present study explored procedural times, complications, robotic malfunction and limitations, adverse events and pain management outcomes for colorectal procedures, including sigmoid resection, right hemicolectomy and rectal surgery collected in two European centers. Data from 355 colorectal surgeries showed that the median duration of surgery was 147.2 min (IQR: 124.3-183.0), the docking time was reported with a median of 3.4 min (IQR: 2.0-5.4) and the console time was found at a mean of 84.4 min (SD: 33.6).

We aimed to determine if robotic assisted surgery and Pfannenstiel extraction decreased the rate of radiologically detected incisional hernias compared to standard laparoscopy with extra-corporeal anastomosis. The secondary outcomes aimed to evaluate incidence of port site hernias in 8 mm robotic ports for which routine closure is not followed. Our single centre retrospective cohort study included patients who had minimally invasive right hemicolectomy and had cross-sectional imaging at least 1-year later.
