Mesorectal lipoma is a rare, usually asymptomatic tumor. The best treatment is R0 resection but the previous literature reports different approaches. Robotic surgery allows for an accurate intervention, with a faster postoperative course, less risk of infection and need for transfusions, a faster return to normal daily activities and the best esthetic result. We describe a case of a 43-year-old female with a large lipoma with dislocation of the vagina, rectum and distal sigmoid colon, potentially malignant, successfully treated by robotic excision, which was safe, effective and well tolerated by the patient.
