Miami Friday Session 15 Colorectal 2

Innovation in colorectal surgery continues to push the limits of what is possible, and this session brings together three techniques that each expand the reach of single-port robotic platforms. The discussion opens with endorobotic submucosal dissection using the da Vinci SP system, a technique that allows precise tissue-level work through a minimally invasive approach. From there, the conversation moves to a case combining robotic sigmoid colectomy with repair of a colovesical fistula, demonstrating how robotic platforms can manage compounded surgical challenges in a single operation. The session closes with a genuinely novel technique, totally transvaginal colectomy performed using the SP robot, an approach that avoids traditional abdominal access altogether. Colorectal surgeons, robotic surgery fellows, and hospital teams evaluating single-port platforms will find this session particularly useful for understanding how far minimally invasive technique has progressed. The moderated discussion adds valuable context on patient selection, recovery, and technical considerations for each approach, reflecting the rapid evolution of modern colorectal surgery and the growing role of single-port robotics in reducing surgical footprint without compromising precision.
