Machine Learning-based Surgical Guidance System for Robot-assisted Rectal Surgery

This study tests whether a machine learning-based guidance system for robot-assisted rectal cancer surgery improves safety and accuracy — helping surgeons better identify critical structures like nerves and blood vessels during the procedure. **You may be eligible if...** - You have been diagnosed with rectal cancer and are scheduled for robot-assisted surgery - Your urogenital and rectal functions are intact before surgery - You are able and willing to give consent **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have had another cancer diagnosis within the last 5 years - You have had major prior abdominal surgeries (other than appendix, gallbladder, or C-section) - You are pregnant Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
