Robotic synchronous treatment of colorectal cancer and liver metastasis: state of the art

Abstract

Aim: To analyze the series in literature of pure robotic surgery.

Methods: A complete review of the literature was performed to identify papers with data concerning robotic synchronous treatment of colorectal liver metastases.

Results: Three papers demonstrate the feasibility of this kind of synchronous treatment.

Conclusion: Robotic synchronous treatment of primary tumor and colorectal liver metastasis is feasible and safe.
