Core Tip	This study compared the efficacy of robotic surgery (RS) and laparoscopic surgery (LS) in abdominoperineal resection (APR) for rectal cancer (RC). Our results showed that RS patients had fewer positive circumferential resection margins, less estimated blood loss, shorter postoperative hospital stays, and fewer postoperative complications than did LS patients. Our findings demonstrate that RS is a safe and effective approach for APR in RC and offers better short-term outcomes than LS. This study contributes to the existing evidence base and can assist surgeons and healthcare providers in making informed decisions on using RS in APR for RC.
