Miami Session 14 Colorectal 1

Pushing the boundaries of colorectal surgery through robotics, precision, and artificial intelligence, this session brought together three cases that each mark a step forward for the field. The discussion opens with the world’s first live AI-assisted augmented reality robotic surgery, a milestone presentation that demonstrates how real-time AI overlays can support surgical decision-making during complex procedures. From there, the conversation turns to robotic salvage lateral lymph node dissection, an approach used to address isolated nodal recurrence after standard treatment has been completed. The session closes with a particularly complex case: robotic abdominoperineal resection combined with en masse prostatectomy, illustrating how multidisciplinary robotic approaches can address advanced disease in a single coordinated procedure. Colorectal surgeons, oncology teams, and robotic surgery fellows will find this session valuable for understanding how augmented reality and advanced robotic technique are expanding what is surgically achievable in recurrent and advanced disease. The moderated discussion adds further context on patient selection and long-term outcomes, reflecting the depth of specialist experience represented in this session and the continuing evolution of complex colorectal and pelvic surgical care.
