Incision-Less Robotic Colorectal Resection Q&A
What is incision-less robotic colorectal resection?
Incision-less robotic colorectal resection is a highly advanced minimally invasive surgical technique that avoids the large abdominal incision required in traditional open surgery. Instead, the procedure is performed using several small robotic port sites, typically just a few millimeters in size, through which laparoscopic and robotic instruments are inserted.
A defining feature of this approach is natural orifice specimen extraction, meaning the surgical specimen is removed through a natural opening rather than through an abdominal incision. This significantly reduces trauma to the abdominal wall and lowers the risk of postoperative pain, infection, and hernia formation.
Using high-definition, 3D visualization and robotically articulated instruments, Dr. Belizon performs precise, controlled colorectal surgery while preserving surrounding structures. Although advanced robotic technology enhances visualization and dexterity, all surgical decisions and movements are performed entirely by the surgeon, ensuring expert-led care at every step.
Patients are encouraged to view the educational video resource to better understand how this incision-less robotic approach works and how specimen removal is accomplished without a large incision.
