Abstract
ObjectiveTo investigate gender-based differences in outcomes following robotic surgery for rectal cancer. MethodsA retrospective study was conducted on 155 patients (82 males, 73 females) who underwent robotic surgery for rectal cancer. Demographic, pre-operative, operative, and post-operative data were collected and analyzed. ResultsThere were no significant differences in demographic and pre-operative characteristics between genders. While males had longer operative times (177 min vs. 160 min for females), this was not statistically significant. However, males had significantly shorter hospital stays (P < 0.05), while females had a higher incidence of Clavien-Dindo grade III-IV complications (48% vs. 37.8% in males). Complication rates were comparable, but specific complications varied between genders. ConclusionDemographic and pre-operative features were similar, notable differences between genders emerged in operative time, length of hospital stay and complication severity. These findings underscore the importance of gender-specific considerations in both surgical approaches and post-operative care for rectal cancer patients undergoing robotic surgery.
