Primary outcome measures included CRM positivity, R0 resection status, distal resection margins and lymph node yield.

A total of 1065 participants, of which 632 (59.3%) underwent robotic TME, and 433 (40.7%) had TaTME. Robotic TME had a statistically significant higher lymph node yield (SMD \u20100.53, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u20090.020). There were no significant differences in the overall complication rates, wound infection and anastomotic leak rates, post\u2010operative ileus, mean operative time and CRM positivity.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>This is the first meta\u2010analysis assessing the outcomes of robotic TME versus TaTME, and only lymph node yield was statistically higher in robotic TME group. These techniques are potentially complementary rather than competing, and we believe that these two approaches can be adopted after appropriate training.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/ans.17204","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,23]],"date-time":"2021-09-23T09:19:27Z","timestamp":1632388767000},"page":"2269-2276","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Robotic
