Sin dalla sua introduzione, ormai da oltre 20 anni, la chirurgia laparoscopica ha portato a un cambiamento paradigmatico nel trattamento chirurgico del tumore del colon retto. Più recentemente la chirurgia robotica è divenuta una valida alternativa alla chirurgia open e laparoscopica. I vantaggi più evidenti della chirurgia robotica rispetto alla laparoscopica sono principalmente riconducibili alla minore incidenza di conversione e alla più veloce curva di apprendimento. Tuttavia il ruolo della chirurgia robotica nella patologia colo-rettale non è ancora ben definito ed è diverso in relazione alla sua applicazione nella chirurgia colica rispetto a quella rettale. Per quanto riguarda il carcinoma del colon dai dati più recenti in letteratura emerge che la chirurgia robotica e quella laparoscopica hanno gli stessi vantaggi in termini di tempi di recupero funzionale del paziente, sebbene la chirurgia robotica presenti costi di cura più elevati a parità di morbilità e degenza postoperatoria. Per quanto riguarda i risultati a lungo termine un confronto fra chirurgia colica laparoscopica vs robotica ad oggi non è mai stato oggetto di studio. Tematiche interessanti per la didattica si associano alla chirurgia robotica laddove la doppia console può consentire al medico in formazione di partecipare attivamente alla procedura chirurgica sin dall’inizio della sua esperienza in sala operatoria.
More than 20 years ago the introduction of laparoscopic surgery represented a paradigm shift in the management of colorectal cancer. In most recent years robotic surgery is becoming a viable alternative to laparoscopic and traditional open surgery. The major clear advantages of robotic surgery in comparison with laparoscopy are the lower conversion to open surgery rates and the shorter learning curve. However, the role of robotics in colorectal surgery is still largely undefined and different with respect to its application in abdominal versus pelvic surgery. As for colon cancer there are emerging data that laparoscopic and robotic surgery have the same advantages in terms of faster recovery, although robotic-assisted colectomy is associated with costs increase of care without providing clear reduction in overall morbidity or length of stay. Long-term outcomes for laparoscopic versus robotic colonic resections remain still largely undetermined and randomized controlled clinical trials are required to establish a possible difference in outcomes. Interesting issues for the educational aspects are associated with robotic surgery, as the double console allows the resident to take part actively at the surgical procedure since the beginning of his surgical experience.
