Summary
This study tested a new way to reconnect the colon after removing a cancerous section using a robot. The technique uses a special double purse-string stitch and a single stapler. Thirty-nine patients with sigmoid colon cancer were included, and the study looked at how well the technique worked and how many complications occurred.

What this could lead to
