Evaluating the Clinical Impact of Robotic Surgery in the Management of Colorectal Cancer

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue, titled “Evaluating the Clinical Impact of Robotic Surgery in the Management of Colorectal Cancer”, aims to provide a comprehensive platform for sharing recent advances, innovative techniques, and clinical outcomes in the field of robotic colorectal surgery. We welcome submissions ranging from articles describing novel surgical approaches, enhanced robotic systems, and intraoperative imaging or navigation, to clinical studies assessing oncological outcomes such as survival, recurrence, margin status, complications, and postoperative recovery. Comparative analyses between robotic, laparoscopic, and open surgery, as well as investigations into cost-effectiveness, training, ethical considerations, and implementation in diverse healthcare settings are also encouraged. By integrating technical innovation with clinical evidence, this Special Issue seeks to highlight both the current achievements and future directions of robotic surgery for colorectal cancer, fostering further progress in surgical oncology and patient care.
