Versius&lt;sup&gt;&lt;\/sup&gt; is a modular robotic system whose safety and feasibility are currently being evaluated in routine clinical practice.&lt;b&gt;Aim:&lt;\/b&gt; To assess the safety, feasibility, and short-term oncologic outcomes of Versius-assisted colorectal cancer surgery in a single center during a two-year implementation period.&lt;b&gt;Material and methods:&lt;\/b&gt; A retrospective observational study was conducted, including patients undergoing elective robotic colorectal cancer resection using the Versius system between December 5, 2022, and August 27, 2025. Demographic characteristics, operative parameters (skin-to-skin time, docking time, console time, blood loss, conversions), intra- and postoperative complications (Clavien\u2013Dindo classification), reoperations, 30-day readmissions and mortality, length of stay, and oncologic outcomes (resection margins, lymph node yield, mesorectal quality) were analyzed.&lt;b&gt;Results:&lt;\/b&gt; A total of 191 patients were included (51.8% male, mean age 69.7 9.8 years). The most common procedures were anterior resection (41.4%) and right hemicolectomy (26.7%). The median skin-to-skin operative time was 225 minutes (IQR 185\u2013269). Median length of stay was 6 days (IQR 5\u20137). Conversion to laparotomy occurred in 8 patients (4.2%). Postoperative complications occurred in 40 patients (20.9%), including minor complications (Clavien\u2013Dindo I\u2013II) in 26 (13.6%) and major complications (\u2265III) in 14 (7.3%). Reoperation was required in 13 patients (6.8%), and 30-day readmission occurred in 6 (3.1%). One perioperative death was recorded (0.5%). Median lymph node yield was 22 (IQR 14\u201325), and \u226512 nodes were retrieved in 87.9% of patients. Complete mesorectal excision was achieved in 75.3%, with a combined rate of complete and nearly complete excision of 95.7%.&lt;b&gt;Conclusions:&lt;\/b&gt; Versius-assisted colorectal cancer surgery is feasible and safe in a center with established laparoscopic expertise. Acceptable complication rates and adequate oncologic parameters support its implementation in routine colorectal practice.<\/ns3:p>","DOI":"10.5604\/01.3001.0055.6949","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,31]],"date-time":"2026-03-31T11:19:02Z","timestamp":1774955942000},"page":"1-5","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Safety, Feasibility, and Oncologic Outcomes of Versius-Assisted Colorectal Cancer Surgery: A Single Center Experience"],"prefix":"10.5604","volume":"98","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2112-6414","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tomasz","family":"Sacha\u0144bi\u0144ski","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Institute of Medical Sciences, University of Opole, Poland, Clinical Department of Oncological Surgery with the Breast Diseases Unit, Tadeusz Koszarowski Opole Oncology Center, Opole, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7199-7483","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maciej","family":"Miodo\u0144ski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Institute of Medical Sciences, University of Opole, Poland, Clinical Department of Oncological Surgery with the Breast Diseases Unit, Tadeusz Koszarowski Opole Oncology Center, Opole, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-3759-6421","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Micha\u0142","family":"W\u00f3jcik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Institute of Medical Sciences, University of Opole, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"3689","reference":[{"key":"637896r1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"K\u00fchn F., Bianchi P.P.: Current role of robotic surgery in colorectal disease.
