About this trial
To determine if robotic surgery can be performed for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients, to ascertain the optimal robotic set up for multi-quadrant IBD operations and evaluate clinical outcomes in robotic compared to laparoscopic surgery.

Primary outcomes
To see if robotic surgery is technically feasible for patients with inflammatory bowel disease measured during intra-operative procedure that includes: estimated blood loss in mL.
Port placement using position of ports on the abdomen marked in a diagram during surgical procedure.
Docking of robotic arm in robotic surgery using number of times the docking was done with start and end docking time in HH:MM.
Operative time using time of surgery performed in HH:MM.
