A sigmoidectomy is the most definitive surgical treatment for recurrent diverticulitis. While it is usually accomplished via transabdominal specimen extraction and stapled anastomosis, the robotic platform can facilitate novel approaches and techniques. This is the first report of the initial experience using robotic sigmoidectomy with natural orifice specimen extraction and hand‐sewn anastomosis (NOSHA).
