Comparison of short-term outcomes of robotic-assisted radical colon cancer surgery using the Kangduo Surgical Robotic System and the Da Vinci Si Robotic System: a prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Robotic surgery has been a revolution for colon cancer (CC) patients, with the increasing availability of different competitive robotic systems, but evidence of relevant oncologic outcomes is indeed scarce. Our goal was to compare the surgical quality and short-term oncologic outcomes of the Kangduo Surgical Robotic System and the da Vinci Si Robotic System in patients with CC.

Methods

These are results from a subcohort of a multicenter randomized controlled noninferiority trial performed in three centers in China. Enrolled patients were randomly assigned to undergo surgery using either the KD-SR-01 system (KD group) or the da Vinci Si (DV) robotic system (DV group). Neither investigators nor patients were masked to treatment allocation, but assessment of patholog
