- Abstract
Although the MRI scan suggested close proximity of the rectal tumour to the vaginal wall it became apparent during surgery that posterior vaginal wall resection was required to achieve an R0 resection. Video S1 demonstrates the robotic approach to total mesorectal excision with en bloc posterior vaginal wall excision of a locally advanced rectal cancer involving the posterior vaginal wall. Although the recently published ROLARR trial did not show oncological superiority of robotic surgery over the laparoscopic technique, it did demonstrate a trend toward better conversion rates in lower rectal cancers and in obese patients [3].
