Impact of robotic surgery on postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction following minimally invasive colorectal surgery: incidence, risk factors, and short-term outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

Postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction (POGD) is a common complication following colorectal surgery. This study aimed to investigate the incidence and risk factors of POGD after minimally invasive surgery and to assess the relationship between robotic surgery, POGD, and their outcomes.

Method

Patients who had undergone minimally invasive colorectal surgery at our institution between July 2018 and November 2023 were retrospectively enrolled. POGD was diagnosed based on the presence of two or more intestinal symptoms within 72 h or more after surgery. Risk factors were identified through regression analyses, and the impact of POGD on outcomes was assessed using linear regression.The association between those factors was assessed using subgroup analysis and hierarchical
