Uterine Anastomosis with Low Anterior Resection.

In this surgical teaching video, we demonstrate the technique of robot-assisted uterine anastomosis combined with low anterior resection in a 27-year-old patient with T2 node-positive rectal cancer. The patient had undergone uterine transposition for fertility preservation prior to upfront chemotherapy and radiation therapy for rectal cancer. In this video, we review the key steps of both surgical procedures. We emphasize robot trocar placement and docking, demonstrate optimal organ manipulation and tissue handling, and include key operative modifications and pearls for successful perioperative management.
