Core Tip	Multivisceral resection (MVR) remains the only potential curative surgical treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer but bears high morbidity. Literature on minimally invasive MVR (miMVR) is scarce. Our results showed that miMVR had lower major morbidity and shorter length of stay compared to open MVR with comparable R0 resection and long-term survival. Robotic MVR was used for more complex cases but had similar post-operative complications compared to laparoscopic MVR. Use of robotic MVR is feasible and safe even in lower volume institutions for locally advanced rectal cancer.
