Core Tip	Robotic assisted colorectal surgery (RACS) is safe and feasible in the elderly. Despite an increased operative time, it potentially confers the benefit of lower conversion, earlier return of gut function and shorter length of stay with comparable oncological outcomes. As such, age alone should not be a specific exclusion criterion for RACS.
