Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Retrospective cohort study used to analyze trends in minimally invasive versus open surgery in colorectal surgery, over time, in outcome in the laparoscopic, robotic and open surgery groups in patients receiving colorectal resections. Analysis will be performed using data collected through the American College of Surgeons (ACS) National Surgical Quality Improvement Project (NSQIP) database, a national database with deidentified data entered by trained nurse data reviewers.

- Laparoscopic Rectal Surgery
- description
- A minimally invasive surgery and specialized technique for performing surgery using smaller incisions (or ports) to enter into the abdomen or anus for a tubular instrument(trochar), and a special camera (laparoscope), which is passed through the trochars to visualize the colon. For abdominal entry, at the beginning of the procedure, the abdomen is inflated with carbon dioxide gas to provide a working and viewing space for the surgeon. For both, the laparoscope transmits images from the abdominal cavity or anus to high-resolution video monitors to allow the surgeon detailed images of the abdomen on the monitor.

- Procedure: Laparoscopic rectal surgery
- label
- Open Rectal Surgery
- description
- Surgery performed through a single long incision (cut) in the abdomen (belly) to access the colon and/or the rectum.
