Robotic left-sided colorectal resection with Natural orifice IntraCorporeal anastomosis with Extraction of specimen: the NICE procedure. A pilot study of consecutive cases.

Despite numerous benefits, only a small fraction of laparoscopic left-sided colectomy is accomplished without the need for an abdominal incision to retrieve the specimen and prepare for anastomosis. We report our early experience with a robotic approach using Natural orifice IntraCorporeal anastomosis with Extraction of specimen (NICE) to help overcome the technical limitations and challenges of this approach.
