A propensity score matching study of totally robotic right hemicolectomy versus robot-assisted right hemicolectomy

Objective To compare and analyze the differences in safety, feasibility and short-term efficacy between robot-assisted and totally robotic surgery in Right Hemicolectomy. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 184 patients who underwent right hemicolectomy in The Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from July 2016 to December 2021. 148 patients were matched (including 74 cases of robot-assisted right hemicolectomy (TRAH) and 74 cases of totally robotic right hemicolectomy (TRRH)). The general information, surgical and pathological results and complications of patients were collected and analyzed. Results The incision length was 5.14 ± 0.60cm in the robot-assisted group 4.74 ± 0.55cm in the totally robotic group (p
