Robotic rectal cancer surgery
The rectum lies deep in the narrow pelvis, surrounded by the nerves that control defecation, urination and sexual function. The robot's arms can bend and the view is magnified, allowing fine dissection in the pelvis that keeps the anus and nerve function as far as possible.
