What Is Robotic Colorectal Surgery?

Robotic colorectal surgery is a state-of-the-art, minimally invasive approach used to treat conditions of the colon, rectum, and anus with unmatched precision. Using robotic technology, the surgeon controls instruments that offer enhanced visualization, improved dexterity, and greater accuracy compared with traditional open or laparoscopic techniques.

Robotic colorectal surgery allows for smaller incisions, reduced post-operative pain, less blood loss, and faster healing, making it one of the most effective and patient-friendly surgical options available today. As one of the nation’s leading experts, Dr. Karen Zaghiyan is widely recognized as the best minimally invasive colorectal surgeon in Los Angeles, delivering exceptional outcomes through the most advanced robotic surgical platforms.

Signs and Symptoms That May Require Robotic Colorectal Surgery

Robotic surgery may be recommended when medications or non-surgical treatments can no longer manage symptoms or when serious complications develop. Common conditions treated with robotic colorectal surgery include:

  • Colon cancer and rectal cancer
  • Diverticulitis
  • Ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease
  • Rectal prolapse
  • Severe constipation or obstructed defecation
  • Colon polyps not removable endoscopically
  • Fistulas or strictures
  • Large or complex benign colorectal growths

What to Expect During Robotic Colorectal Surgery

Dr. Zaghiyan ensures your surgical experience is guided by clarity, compassion, and a personalized approach designed to minimize discomfort and optimize outcomes.
01
Before surgery
 A comprehensive evaluation, including colonoscopy, imaging, and laboratory studies, determines the most effective treatment plan. You’ll receive a detailed overview of the robotic surgical approach, expected recovery timeline, and preparation instructions to ensure the safest experience possible.
02
During surgery
Using advanced robotic technology, Dr. Zaghiyan performs your surgery through several small incisions. The robotic system provides a 3D high-definition view and micro-precision tools that allow for meticulous dissection and reconstruction. This approach reduces trauma to surrounding tissues and supports faster, more comfortable healing.
03
After surgery
Most patients experience significantly less pain and shorter hospital stays than with traditional surgery. You’ll receive individualized guidance on activity restrictions, bowel management, wound care, and follow-up appointments to monitor healing and long-term results.
