• [ABSTRACT][Objective:] To evaluate short-term outcomes after the introduction of robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer at our hospital. [Methods:] The participants of this retrospective study were 19 patients with rectal cancer who had undergone operations from April through October 2021 : 10 with robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) performed by a single surgeon and 9 with laparoscopic surgery (LS). Clinicopathological characteristics, operative findings, and postoperative complications were compared between the types of surgery. [Results:] Patients who had undergone RALS had a median operative time of 334 minutes and a console time of 166.5 minutes. No operations were converted to laparotomy, and the median postoperative hospital stay was 12 days. Complications of Clavien-Dindo grade II were stoma outlet obstruction in 2 patients and anastomotic leakage in 1 patient. Pathological examination revealed no residual tumor, and resection was curative in all patients. No variables of operative findings or postoperative complications differed significantly between RALS and LS. [Conclusion:] The RALS for rectal cancer at our hospital has been safely performed.
