Study Arms (2)

Single-Port Robotic Surgery

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients with rectal cancer undergo single-port robotic surgery.

Procedure: Single-port robotic surgery

Multi-Port Robotic Surgery

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients with rectal cancer undergo multi-port robotic surgery.

Procedure: Multi-port robotic surgery

Interventions

In this group, patients will be operated using a single-port surgical robot system. In the single-port configuration, a four-channel trocar shall be used. The surgical tools are steered through the curved access channels in the trocar to enter a patient's abdomen. The surgical procedure followed the principle of total mesorectal excision.

Also known as: SPRS
Single-Port Robotic Surgery

In this group, patients will be operated using a multi-port surgical robot system. Surgical instruments enter the abdominal cavity through 4 separate trocars. The surgical procedure followed the principle of total mesorectal excision.

Also known as: MPRS
Multi-Port Robotic Surgery
