Choosing the optimal path requires a deep understanding of varying international guidelines and the precision offered by modern surgical techniques. Thanks to the integration of laparoscopic and robotic-assisted systems, surgeons can now achieve higher levels of precision in Local Axial Resection (LAR), adhering to rigorous clinical standards to improve patient quality of life.
