AbstractBackgroundsThis study aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy and functional outcomes of DA Vinci (Xi)‐assisted surgery compared to conventional laparoscopic surgery for middle and low rectal cancer, focusing on oncologic cure and functional preservation.MethodsBetween December 2020 and June 2021, 102 patients with middle and low rectal cancer (tumour lower margin ≤10 cm) were enrolled at the affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University. Participants were divided into two groups: robot‐assisted (n = 51) and laparoscopy‐assisted (n = 51). Each group underwent a radical resection using their assigned method. Clinical and functional outcomes were analysed post‐surgery.ResultsPreoperative data did not differ significantly between groups (P > 0.05). All surgeries were successfully completed without conversion to open surgery. The robotic group experienced significantly less intraoperative blood loss (55.2 ± 29.8 mL vs. 109.5 ± 58.5 mL) and faster recovery in gastrointestinal function (35.1 ± 9.4 h vs. 40.7 ± 1.9 h), diet recovery (2.1 ± 0.8 days vs. 2.9 ± 0.4 days), and catheter removal (2.9 ± 2.7 days vs. 5.3 ± 2.1 days). The robotic group also dissected more lymph nodes
