2014 saw the publication of the first Italian Society of Surgery Biennial Report, which covered the broad uses and issues of robotics in general surgery. Over the course of these nearly ten years, advancements in robotic surgery and the fine-tuning of corresponding technological steps have led to significant advancements in the fields of thoracic, abdominal, and pelvic surgery.

This is particularly true for robotic colorectal surgery, which is why it seemed important to publish a new book on the topic. I am profoundly grateful to prominent authorities on robotic surgery, Graziano Ceccarelli and Andrea Coratti, for publishing this superb monograph that brings us up to date on this subject.

The volume's editors and authors cover every facet of robotic colorectal surgery in its 25 chapters, from the advancement of technology to the creation of colorectal resections. They pay close attention to the costs, learning curves, training, and cost-effectiveness of the various techniques. The steps involved in robotic right colectomy, transverse and left fexure resections, left colectomy and sigmoidectomy, rectum resection, Miles' surgery, Hartmann's reversal, and complete colectomy—both for diverticular disease and cancer—are all explained in depth. Robotic transanal surgery is covered in detail in a separate chapter. Lastly, a comprehensive summary of the new robotic platforms is given.

I am confident that this book will become a reference and enthrall readers of all skill levels, so congratulations to the writers for their excellent job.

The age of contemporary minimally invasive surgery began in 1980 with the first laparoscopic appendectomy, which took place almost 150 years after the first endoscope prototypes were introduced.

At the start of the new millennium, the robotic approach represented the next step in this revolutionary process, specifically designed to address the majority of the technical limitations of conventional laparoscopy with improved visualization, superior dexterity, and precision. This was in response to the full integration of laparoscopy into the surgical arsenal, which was supported by several compelling results.

Despite being used in surgery for 35 years, this system has gradually acquired acceptance among the surgical community over the past 20 years and is now considered the new standard of care. A rapid yet intensive technical growth has been witnessed, from the first robotic systems to the next developing platforms. The introduction of artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and computer aid will bring about a significantly different way of functioning.
