TLDR
Evidence of moderate quality supports that robotic surgery for rectal cancer produces similar perioperative outcomes of oncologic procedure adequacy to conventional laparoscopic surgery.Abstract:
Objective:The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of elective rectal resection for rectal cancer in adults by robotic surgery compared with conventional laparoscopic surgery.Summary of Background Data:Technological advantages of robotic surgery favor precise dissection in narroread more

Laparoscopic vs. robotic rectal cancer surgery and the effect on conversion rates: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials and propensity-score-matched studies.
TL;DR: Robotic surgery for rectal cancer is associated with reduced conversion to open surgery compared to a laparoscopic approach, and it is found that this approach is more beneficial than the other approaches.

TL;DR: Overall cancer incidence trends are stable in women, but declining by 3.1% per year in men, much of which is because of recent rapid declines in prostate cancer diagnoses, and brain cancer has surpassed leukemia as the leading cause of cancer death among children and adolescents.

Estimating the mean and variance from the median, range, and the size of a sample.
TL;DR: Two simple formulas are found that estimate the mean using the values of the median, low and high end of the range, and n (the sample size) and these hope to help meta-analysts use clinical trials in their analysis even when not all of the information is available and/or reported.
