Multimodal rehabilitation can improve further on the excellent results of laparoscopic sigmoidectomy and decrease the postoperative hospital stay.

LSR was not superior to OSR regarding postoperative quality of life and incidence of complications in this trial.

Survivors after CRS and HIPEC have postoperative quality of life similar to preoperatively, with most of the reduced elements recovering after 6-12 months. We conclude that reduced quality of life of patients after CRS and HIPEC should not be used as an argument to deny surgical therapy to these patients.

Background The role of telematic surgical approach in gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is still unclear.
