Robotic surgery has recently been introduced for colorectal procedures. In robotic colorectal surgery, only a few low-powered randomized studies have been performed, demonstrating equal short-term surgical outcomes. Robotic surgery offers specific technical advantages; however, studies have documented increased operative time and economic costs compared to both open and laparoscopic colorectal surgery. At the moment, no randomized studies, cohort studies or case-series have investigated outcomes related to anesthesia or analgesic treatment in robotic colorectal surgery. Experience and transferable evidence from laparoscopy and other fields of robotic surgery, such as urology and gynecology may provide valuable information when introducing this new technique. This review presents an overview of the anesthesiological challenges during robotic colorectal surgery. Furthermore, clinical re.. View More»
