Authors' recommendations:
Rectal cancer is frequently diagnosed and surgery is the only curative option. Robotically assisted laparoscopic surgery has recently been suggested to be better than open or conventional laparoscopic surgery for both rectal cancer patients and surgeons' ergonomy. The identified literature comprised only non-randomized cohort studies and case series. No patient benefits with robotically assisted laparoscopic surgery were documented and the quality of evidence was very low (GRADE+000) for all studied outcomes. The use of robotically assisted laparoscopic surgery is associated with an added cost of approximately 59000 SEK per patient if 100 patients are operated annually using this technique. This technique needs further evaluation.
