Researchers from Sapporo Medical University Publish New Studies and Findings in the Area of Colon Cancer (Descending Colon Cancer Resection Using the da Vinci SP with an Access Port kit: World's First Case).

Researchers from Sapporo Medical University have published a study on colon cancer, specifically focusing on the world's first case of descending colon cancer resection using the da Vinci SP Surgical System with an Access Port kit. The study involved an 88-year-old female with descending colon cancer who underwent left hemicolectomy with the dV SP system. This innovative approach allowed for surgery through a single incision at the umbilicus, demonstrating promising advancements in colorectal cancer surgery. For more information, the full study can be accessed in the Journal of the Anus, Rectum and Colon. [Extracted from the article]
