Laparoscopic approach is a useful tool for treating complications after laparoscopic colorectal surgery, especially anastomotic leaks. Randomized, controlled trials are necessary to validate these findings.

Among patients with resected sporadic SSAs the risk of developing metachronous ANL is influenced by the presence of synchronous HRA on index colonoscopy. Patients with SSAs and synchronous HRA on index colonoscopy require closer surveillance, whereas those with synchronous LRA and those without synchronous adenomas may be followed up in the same way as those with LRAs.

Laparoscopic colectomy is effective in resolving colonic perforation due to colonoscopy, and it might offer benefits over the open approach.

Incontinence due to LIS does not recover after long-term follow-up and appears to be an independent cause of fecal incontinence.

Complicated diverticulitis or cancer of the rectum treated by low anterior resection have higher probabilities of conversion.
