Surgeons operate through small incisions using robotic arms with tremor-free precision and 3D vision.
Robotic prostatectomy, hysterectomy, colectomy, and increasingly lung and pancreatic resections. Oncologic equivalence to open surgery is established in most sites (with the notable exception of early cervical cancer, LACC trial). Faster recovery; cost is the trade-off. Intuitive dominates; Medtronic Hugo, CMR Versius, and single-port systems compete.
Tele-manipulated instruments move with wristed motion through laparoscopic ports.
The single largest improvement in rectal cancer outcomes came from a change in surgical technique, not a drug. Every radiotherapy trial since has had to show it adds something on top of a properly performed total mesorectal excision.
Every treatment on this roadmap is either a way to reach this operation, a way to make it work better, or a substitute for patients who cannot have it.
