Short-term outcomes of KangDuo surgical robot- versus Da Vinci surgical robot-assisted radical resection of colorectal cancer: a prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

The KangDuo Surgical Robot-01 (KD-SR-01) system is a recently introduced robot-assisted endoscopic surgical device originally designed in China. The purpose of this prospective cohort study was to ascertain whether the KD-SR-01 system was substantially equivalent to a comparable robotic device in terms of safety, efficacy and treatment costs during colorectal cancer resection, and evaluate the learning curve of KangDuo robotic surgery.

Method

From October 2022 to May 2023, 50 patients (aged 18-80 years) with colorectal cancer were enrolled and randomly assigned to either the KangDuo group (KD-SR group; 26 patients) or the Da Vinci group (DV group; 24 patients). The primary endpoints were surgical success and conversion rates. In addition, cumulative su
