Exercise habits and swallowing-related symptoms in older adults: a cross-sectional and a single-arm pre-post intervention study.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is increasing globally and is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality []. Treatment modalities for CRC have expanded in recent years to include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy [, ]. Furthermore, patient needs extend beyond cancer cure to include quality of life (QOL) considerations post-surgery []. In the field of CRC surgery, the adoption of robot-assisted surgery is rapidly advancing. Reports have demonstrated the utility of various robotic platforms, including da Vinci Xi [, ], Senhance Digital Laparoscopy [], Hugo [], and Hinotori []. For rectal cancer, robot-assisted surgery may contribute to better postoperative functional preservation compared with laparoscopic surgery, suggesting a growing demand for this approach []. Similarly, single-port laparoscopic surgery has been associated with higher patient satisfaction than conventional laparoscopic surgery []. Single-incision laparoscopic colectomy (SILC), which uses an umbilical incision, has been reported to have comparable short- and long-term outcomes to conventional laparoscopic surgery for CRC [, ]. However, the technical difficulty of SILC and the potential for instrument clashing have prevented it from becoming a standard procedure [, ].
