- Abstract
This article, published in the journal Colorectal Disease, presents three innovative intraoperative strategies for optimizing postoperative outcomes in robotic or laparoscopically assisted surgery. The strategies aim to mitigate the risk of complications in patients with high comorbidities. The first strategy involves avoiding extreme head-down positioning to prevent pulmonary complications. The second strategy focuses on preserving the left colic artery to enhance blood supply and reduce the risk of anastomosis leak. The third strategy involves implementing a single stable line anastomosis to prevent complications such as staple line crossover and the formation of "dog ears." The authors believe that these techniques can be valuable for improving postoperative outcomes in patients with significant comorbidities.
