Brief summary

To confirm the safety and performance of the da Vinci SP Surgical System, Instruments and Accessories in a complex colorectal procedure such as low anterior resections or right colectomy.

Detailed description

Primary Performance: * The primary performance endpoint will be assessed as the ability to complete the planned da Vinci SP-assisted colorectal procedure without conversion to an alternate approach. Conversion\* to an alternate approach comprises conversion to open, multiport laparoscopic\*\*, multiport robotic or hand-assisted§ approach requiring undocking of the da Vinci SP Surgical System in order to complete the planned procedure using the alternate approach. * Performing an extracorporeal anastomosis is not considered a conversion \*\* Use of additional assistant laparoscopic port(s) is not considered a conversion § Laparoscopic or robotic with hand assistance Primary Safety: • The primary safety endpoint will be assessed as the incidence of all intraoperative and post-operative adverse events that occur through the 42-day follow-up period

Inclusion criteria

* Age ≥ 18 years * BMI ≤ 35 * Candidate for single-port robotic-assisted surgery for low anterior resection with or without total mesorectal excision or right colectomy procedures * ASA ≤ 3 * Willing and able to provide a written informed consent document * Willing and able to comply with the study protocol requirements including perioperative follow-up examinations at 14 days, 42 days post operatively, and post-market long-term follow-up on an annual basis through 5 years

Exclusion criteria

* Clinical or radiological evidence of metastatic disease * Life expectancy less than 6 months * Cancer of the anal canal requiring an abdominoperineal resection * Subjects with threatened mesorectal margins (≤1 mm) on MRI or ultrasound (for LAR ONLY) * Subjects with planned major concomitant procedures (eg. hepatectomaies, other intestinal resections) or emergent case * Subjects undergoing both LAR/TME and right colectomy during the same operation * Preoperative colonoscopy demonstrating synchronous colorectal cancer * History of inflammatory bowel disease * Subject has a known bleeding or clotting disorder * Uncontrolled illness including, but not limited to ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements * Subject is contraindicated for general anesthesia or surgery * Subject had prior incisional hernia with mesh repair * Subject belongs to vulnerable population * Subject is pregnant or suspected to be pregnant Intraoperative
