The use of a laparoscopic approach with enhanced recovery after surgery management appears to have long-term survival benefits following colorectal cancer resection.

Readmission does not have a significant impact on 5-year OS. A broad range of conditions led to readmission, with the majority representing minor complications.

In selected colorectal cancer patients operated by fully trained laparoscopic surgeons, we observed a reduction in conversion with associated long-term survival benefit from dual operating specialists.
