- The Xi robot offers multi quadrant access ideal for colorectal surgery. This function requires the ports to be placed in a linear fashion.
- Non-linear port placement is acceptable with the understanding that the multi quadrant access may be limited.
- Two port placements are recommended in Xi right colon resection.
- Standard port placement
- Suprapubic port placement.
- The choice of port placements is surgeon dependent.

- Minimizes the potential of creating a volvulus of at the anastomosis when doing an extracorporeal anastomosis
- Allows one to avoid a midline incision or upper abdominal lateral incision, decreasing post operative pain and significantly reducing incisional hernia rates
- Requires less dissection around the transverse colon (gastrocolic ligament) decreasing the degree of contiguous tissue trauma
- Avoids mesenteric stretch and mesenteric bleeding that can occur in ECA which may increase potential for ileus

- The type of anastomosis (iso or anti) does not show any significant clinical difference. Preference is surgeon related, however, iso peristaltic anastomosis is preferred.
- Closure of the common enterotomy is most commonly done by suture closure. A two layer, running absorbable suture, technique is the preferred method. A 3-0, 180 day, 15 cm in length with a CV23 needle V-lock is my preferred suture.
- The common enterotomy may be closed with the stapler as well

- Intracorporeal anastomosis allows the surgeon to choose the most preferable extraction site. Preferably a pfannenstiel incision as this incision is associated with less pain and a significantly reduced hernia rate
- There is less contiguous tissue damage in the ICA technique resulting in less ileus, length of stay and decreased leak rates
- Robotic ICA is performed routinely in right colon resection compared to laparoscopic right colon resection in which is rarely done
- Iso-peristaltic anastomosis is the preferred ICA technique
- The mesenteric defect is not closed

- Conversion rates in laparoscopic surgery have been reported at 16.6%. Robotic right colon resection conversion rates are 3%.
- Early studies comparing robotic right colon resection compared to laparoscopic right colon resection have not shown a significant difference, however, these studies did not compare the total cohort of all patients undergoing right colon resection. In my own experience only 87% of all patients underwent laparoscopic right colon resection while 99.6% of patients had robotic surgery.
- Results showed a 1.8 day decreased length of stay and a 73% reduction in post operative pain without a significant difference in complications
