Brief Summary: The main goal of this study is to clarify if Robotic-assisted surgery could become the standard approach in patients undergoing left colonic resection. Patient candidates to left colonic resection were randomly assigned to Robotic(RAL) or laparoscopic(LL) approach. The surgical staff who were not involved in the study registered 30-day postoperative morbidity. Cost-benefit analysis was based on hospital days. Long-term morbidity, quality of life, and 5-year survival have also been evaluated
