We evaluated the short\u2010term outcomes of robot\u2010assisted colectomy versus laparoscopic colectomy in patients with colon cancer.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n This single\u2010center, retrospective cohort study evaluated patients who underwent minimally invasive colectomies for colon cancer at Osaka General Medical Center from January 2014 to November 2024. Short\u2010term outcomes were compared after 1:1 propensity score matching to minimize confounding by indication.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n In total, 480 patients underwent laparoscopic colectomies and 282 underwent robot\u2010assisted colectomies, with 218 matched pairs. Baseline characteristics were well\u2010balanced. Surgical procedure distribution was similar between the groups (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.897). Mean operative times were significantly longer (212 vs. 200\u2009min,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.040), mean intraoperative blood loss was significantly lower (22.8 vs. 37.5\u2009mL,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u20090.001), rates of conversion to open surgery were significantly lower (0.0% vs. 2.3%,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.026), and mean hospital stays were significantly shorter (7.0 vs. 11.3 d,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u20090.001) in the robot\u2010assisted colectomy group. The number of lymph node dissections (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.27) and local R0 resection rates (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.34) were comparable. Overall complication rates were significantly lower in the robot\u2010assisted colectomies (11.0% vs. 17.9%,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.007), whereas clinically meaningful complication rates (Clavien\u2013Dindo grades \u2265 II) were comparable (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.150).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n These findings provide real\u2010world data supporting the feasibility of robot\u2010assisted colectomy for colon cancer treatment. Further research should evaluate the long\u2010term oncologic outcomes and cost\u2010effectiveness.<\/jats:p>\n
