The hinotori Surgical Robot System obtained pharmaceutical approval for use in colorectal cancer surgery in October 2022 in Japan, and its advantages, including its operating arm with eight axes, adjustable arm base, and flexible 3D viewer, are expected to be utilized in colon cancer surgery. A 68-year-old woman presented to our hospital with abdominal pain and was diagnosed with cStageIIa (cT3N0M0) ascending colon cancer and underwent right hemicolectomy using the hinotori Surgical Robot System with the appropriate port placement on the arc around the hepatic flexure, which was available for both ileocecal manipulation and lymph node dissection, and adjustment of the angle of the arm base to further reduce interference. Herein we report the world's first surgery for colorectal cancer using the hinotori Surgical Robot System.
