Conclusion
In this multicentre trial that included 471 procedures done by surgeons with variable experience of robotic surgery, there was no difference in the conversion rate to open surgery between robotic-assisted or laparoscopic procedures: 8.1 versus 12.2 per cent, respectively. The rates of clear resection margins were also similar.
