Robotic surgery will be performed by three laparoscopic experienced surgeons of the Surgery Department of HU Virgen del Rocio. Specific training in robotic surgery was done in a specialised centre for training (IRCAD, Strasbourg). Laparoscopic interventions will be performed by two surgeons who also had extensive experience in laparoscopic colorectal surgery.The surgical technique will be similar in both groups.
Primary outcome measure(s) Morbidity and mortality. Parameters will be determined during operation and in the post-operative time.
Secondary outcome measure(s) Oncologic determinations:
1. Size of resection
2. Distance to the resection margin
3. Lymphatic nodes
4. Post-operative staging

Parameters will be determined during operation and in the post-operative time.
