Core Tip	Laparoscopic oncologic rectal surgery remains a challenging procedure. Robotic systems aim at overcoming the limits of conventional laparoscopic techniques. The evidence on robotic and robotic-assisted rectal cancer surgery is rapidly increasing. Currently, published studies have demonstrated exciting evidence regarding similar or improved short-term outcomes after robotic rectal surgery when compared to laparoscopic conventional techniques. Moreover, robotic surgery seems to be oncologic safe. Further studies are required to evaluate the long-term oncologic and functional results of robotic over laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer treatment.
