Core Tip	Minimally invasive and robotic pelvic exenteration (PE) is currently feasible in appropriately selected locally advanced rectal cancer patients. It is associated with decreased postoperative complications and promising oncological outcomes. The disadvantages of establishing minimally invasive PE as the gold standard treatment for these patients are the relatively small sample sizes in studies, the limited experience of surgeons, and the lack of long-term data on oncological outcomes. Additional well-designed studies with larger sample sizes and long-term data are needed to establish the benefits of the robotic and laparoscopic approaches for PE.
