Functional Recovery and Oncologic Efficacy of Robotic Versus Laparoscopy NOSE for Patients With Stage I III Left Sided Colon Cancer: A Randomized Controlled Trial
In this project, the investigator aims to provide the level 1 evidence for the comparison of robotic versus laparoscopic NOSE for the surgery of stage I-III colorectal cancer. the investigator hypothesize that, with the increased maneuverability of the current robotic system, robotic surgery will be a good option for patients with stage I-III colorectal cancer requiring a NOSE procedure.
• Primary colon cancers located at the left sided colonic anatomic location, including distal transverse colon, colonic splenic flexure, descending colon, sigm oid descending colonic junction, sigmoid colon and upper rectum that required the mobilization of colonic splenic flexure to facilitate a curative resection and trans anal specimen extraction ;
• TNM Stage I III adenocarcinomas;
• Curative and elective surgery;
• American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) class I to III patients;
• Age \>18 years.
