Abstract
Background: This study aimed to compare the short-term postoperative outcomes of single-port robotic (SPR) using da Vinci SP® system and single port laparoscopic (SPL) right hemicolectomy and determine whether the novel SPR system is safe and feasible. Methods: From January 2019 to December 2020, a total of 141 patients (41 patients for SPR and 100 patients for SPL) who electively underwent right hemicolectomy for colon cancer performed by a single surgeon were included in the study. Results: The time to the first bowel movement was 3 (range, 1–4) days after surgery in the SPR group and 3 (2–9, range) days in the SPL group (p = 0.017). However, there were no differences in pathologic outcomes or postoperative complications. Conclusions: SPR is a safe and feasible surgical technique and has an advantage in the time to first postoperative bowel movement over SPL with no other complications.
