Abstract:

Large or lateral-spreading colorectal adenomas may be unsuitable for complete endoscopic resection, requiring surgical management. Advances in minimally invasive surgery have led to the development of single-port robotic platforms designed to minimize abdominal wall trauma while maintaining surgical precision. A 62-year-old female was found on screening colonoscopy to have a large lateral-spreading adenomatous lesion of the ascending colon that was not amenable to endoscopic removal. She underwent a single-port robotic-assisted right colectomy through a periumbilical incision. The procedure was completed without complications, with minimal blood loss and rapid postoperative recovery. Final pathology demonstrated a benign serrated adenomatous lesion with negative margins. Single-port robotic-assisted right colectomy represents a safe and feasible option for carefully selected patients with benign or premalignant colonic lesions. This approach may offer advantages in postoperative recovery, pain control, and cosmetic outcomes.
