Robot-assisted Surgery for Colorectal Cancer [Kansai Medical University Hospital]

We provide robot-assisted surgical treatment that ensures curability while preserving function, with a low complication rate. The anal preservation rate exceeds 90%, and we are also capable of performing ISR, the ultimate anal-preserving surgery.

We have multiple types of surgical robots (da Vinci Xi, hinotori, and Hugo [available through participation in clinical research]) and provide high-quality robot-assisted surgery by selecting the most suitable system for each patient. The operating surgeon has experience with more than 5,000 surgical cases.
