Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Colorectal surgery has made significant progress in recent years, thanks to advancements in laparoscopic and robotic approaches and easy access to scientific websites worldwide. The main goal of this Special Issue is to highlight several subjects that can contribute to the advances in colorectal surgery. These include technical aspects of complex surgeries, which play a crucial role in the final results. Different surgical techniques can lead to better outcomes, so it is essential to determine when and how to utilize laparoscopic or robotic surgery. Furthermore, laparoscopic and robotic colorectal surgery require some tips and tricks to ensure success. A multidisciplinary approach can also aid in achieving better results. Additionally, reducing the rate of leak anastomoses involves addressing multiple factors, and ongoing debates about new techniques in colorectal surgery contribute to advancing the field.
