    Robot-assisted hemicolectomy (RAH) offers advantages over laparoscopy-assisted hemicolectomy (LAH) for left-sided colon cancers.

  • 2

    RAH resulted in longer operative times compared to LAH, averaging 150.23 minutes versus 125.85 minutes.

  • 3

    Surgery costs for RAH were significantly higher than for LAH, with costs of $6.33 thousand versus $2.88 thousand.

  • 4

    Total hospital costs were also significantly greater for RAH at $14.97 thousand compared to $9.05 thousand for LAH.

  • 5

    Both surgical techniques achieved negative resection margins with comparable pathology results and no conversions to open surgery.
