Background
In recent years, robotic surgery has been proposed as an alternative to laparoscopic procedures. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and short-term outcomes of robotic surgery for colorectal cancer compared with conventional laparoscopic surgery.

Material and Methods
We analyzed in the short-term clinicopathologic outcomes between the robotic surgery group and the conventional laparoscopic group. Both groups were balanced in terms of age, gender, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score, body mass index (BMI), operative history, TNM staging and tumor location.

Result
There were no significant differences in the short-term clinicopathologic outcomes between the robotic surgery group and the conventional laparoscopic group. However, the operative time was significantly longer in the robotic surgery group than in the conventional laparoscopic surgery group.

Conclusion
Our early experience indicates that robotic surgery is a feasible and safe procedure in patients with colorectal cancer.
