Case in brief
A 61-year-old female with colon cancer developed ovarian and peritoneal metastases 14 months post-laparoscopic right hemicolectomy. After seven cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, she underwent cytoreductive surgery (CRS) using the da Vinci SP robotic system. The procedure, which included multiple resections and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy, was completed successfully with complete cytoreduction. The patient was discharged on day 9 without complications and has remained recurrence-free for over 6 months.
Diagnostic / clinical pearl
The use of single-port robotic surgery for cytoreductive procedures in selected patients with peritoneal metastases may enhance recovery while minimizing abdominal wall trauma.
