BackgroundLaparoscopic colectomy is standard for uncomplicated diverticulitis (UD) but has higher conversion and morbidity rates in complicated diverticulitis (CD). Robotic colectomy (RC) is increasingly used for both UD and CD. This study compared outcomes of RC for CD and UD and evaluated factors contributing to adverse outcomes.

Introduction: High tie ligation of the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) is the standard technique in oncological low anterior rectal resection. However, high tie may reduce blood flow to the colon, impairing distal tissue perfusion, anastomotic healing, and potentially causing necrosis. Therefore, a modified high tie technique (MoHiTi) was developed that preserves the arterial arc from the left colic artery via the proximal IMA to the first sigmoidal branch.

Background: Obesity is associated with increased risk of conversion to open surgery, which in turn is associated with worse postoperative outcomes. We hypothesize that, with its improved ergonomics and instrument dexterity, the robotic approach to right colectomy will be associated with a decreased risk of conversion to open compared to laparoscopic right colectomy.
Methods: Obese adults (BMI ≥30kg/m) undergoing elective laparoscopic (LRC) or robotic (RRC) right colectomy for colon adenocarcinoma (2015-2022) were identified from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program and its colectomy-targeted participant use file.
