Objective:

To showcase a simple and reproducible technique for side-to-side intracorporeal anastomosis in left-sided colorectal lesions using robotic surgery.

Key Findings:
  • The technique resulted in a total operative time of 120 minutes with minimal blood loss (50 ml).
  • The patient had an uneventful recovery and was discharged on day 3 without complications.
  • Postoperative histology confirmed pT3N0M0R0 moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma.
Interpretation:

The intracorporeal anastomosis technique enhances postoperative recovery and reduces surgical morbidity, demonstrating feasibility and efficiency in left-sided colorectal resections.

Limitations:
  • Further randomized prospective studies are needed to establish long-term clinical advantages over traditional extracorporeal methods.
Conclusion:

The described technique is reproducible and aims to optimize surgical workflow while minimizing complications in left-sided colorectal resections.
