Clinical Aspects and Outcomes in Contemporary Colorectal Surgery

Dear Colleagues,

Over the last several years, along with the gradual rise in colorectal cancer and Crohn’s disease incidence, the field of colorectal surgery has been rapidly evolving and growing. We, as colorectal surgeons, feel this increase in the volumes of patients with colorectal diseases being referred to us on a daily basis. The aim of the present Topical Collection is to serve as a forum for addressing core issues in colorectal surgery, including, but not limited to, surgical techniques, perioperative management, postoperative recovery, and surgical outcomes. We invite the submission of manuscripts in all areas of colorectal surgery. Priority will be given to high-quality, original studies, but well-designed and conducted systematic reviews (with or without metanalysis) giving a comprehensive overview of the state of the art on a specific topic are also welcome. In summary, this Topical Collection will increase clinicians’ knowledge of poorly explored areas of coloproctology, as well as providing a balanced, sound, and evidence-based overview of advances and potential perspectives in the field of colorectal surgery.
