ABSTRACT
Background: Colorectal cancer remains a significant global health concern, necessitating continual advancements in surgical techniques and technologies to enhance patient outcomes. This study explores the outcomes associated with the latest surgical approaches, with a particular focus on minimally invasive procedures and robotic surgery, in treatment of colorectal cancer.
Aim: The primary goal of our current research is to investigate effectiveness and safety of the most recent surgical techniques and technologies in managing colorectal cancer. Specifically, we aim to evaluate influence of minimally invasive procedures and robotic surgery approaches on patient outcomes, including illness, mortality, length of hospital stays, and long-term survival rates.
Methods: The study was conducted in Agha Khan Hospital during Feburary 2023 to Feburary 2024. Our current research is comprehensive research of the current literature, including clinical trials, observational studies, and case series, conducted over the past decade. A systematic search of electronic databases was performed to identify relevant articles. Data extraction and quality assessment were carried out according to established guidelines. Statistical studies were achieved to synthesize outcomes.
Results: Our analysis reveals compelling evidence that the latest surgical techniques and technologies, such as minimally invasive procedures and robotic surgery, have significantly improved outcomes in treatment of colorectal cancer. Individuals undergoing these advanced procedures experience reduced postoperative complications, shorter hospital stays, and enhanced long-term survival rates compared to traditional surgical approaches. Moreover, the precision and dexterity offered by robotic surgery have contributed to improved oncological outcomes and quality of life for individuals.
Conclusion: The findings of our current research underscore the transformative impact of minimally invasive procedures and robotic surgery on the treatment of colorectal cancer. These advanced techniques have emerged as key pillars in the management of this malignancy, offering superior outcomes, increased patient satisfaction, and a promising future for colorectal cancer patients. As these technologies continue to evolve, their integration into routine clinical practice holds the potential to further optimize treatment strategies and advance general prognosis of colorectal cancer patients.
