A research team headed by Professor Xu Jianmin from the Department of Colorectal Surgery at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, has published their nine-year findings in the prestigious Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). The study underscores that robot-assisted surgery significantly lowers the local recurrence rate following surgery for middle and low rectal cancer, in comparison to laparoscopic surgery, while boosting the anus preservation rate to 84%. Furthermore, this advanced surgical approach also enhances patients' quality of life, including improvements in urinary and sexual function. This comprehensive study, which involved 1,240 patients, was conducted through a multicenter randomized controlled trial, affirming the advantages of robot-assisted surgery in both tumor radical resection and functional protection. Notably, the pertinent findings have been incorporated into the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Guidelines for Colorectal Cancer.
