Abstract
Aim: Single-port robotics (SPr) allows surgeons to optimize single-incision surgery by combining the benefits of robotics, including a stable 3D view and enhanced articulation. SPr holds significant potential for colorectal surgeons. Due to its novelty, there is an opportunity to establish an international working group to create a shared registry, enabling assessment of the potential and limitations of SPr in colorectal surgery. To develop this shared online data registry, a modified Delphi process was conducted to reach international consensus among experts in the field. Methods: A modified Delphi method (two-round web-based questionnaire) was conducted between June 2023 and September 2024. This methodology was chosen to obtain international, expert-level consensus on the variables composing the data registry through a systematic survey. Twenty-one expert colorectal surgeons from five different countries were recruited. A total of 99 statements were surveyed, including background/demographics, initial clinical assessment, post-radiation assessment, operative variables, surgical pathology, and postoperative outcomes. Results: Two rounds of web-based questionnaire were conducted (response rate 100% and 90.4%). Agreement (set to >70%) was achieved for 96 statements in six major categories. Conclusion: This international collaborative project lays the foundation for an online SPr data registry. The acquired information has the potential to provide a better understanding of the capabilities and limitations of SPr in colorectal surgery, while also developing a shared language and criteria for evaluation.
