Surgical RPSS technique. A After blood flow confirmation using ICG, scissors excise the oral intestinal tract. B The oral colonic stump is robotically stitched with 3–0 Prolene circumferentially and to hold margins in all layers. C After anvil insertion into the hand-stitched colonic stump, the intestinal wall of the colon is completely sewn on the central rod of the anvil. D The reconstruction is finally anastomosed using DST. RPSS, robotic purse-string suture; ICG, indocyanine green; DST, double-stapling technique
