“…This is reflected by the fact that many large multicenter trials except MRC-CLASSIC have not included patients with rectal cancer [9]. However, there are 5 randomized trials published till date and that have demonstrated comparable short term outcome of laparoscopic and open surgery [4,6,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. Our study also shows comparable short term outcome of the LAC group with relatively early recovery following surgery.…”

“…This could be probably due to less tissue trauma in laparoscopic surgery [5]. Dissection through small incisions, precise dissection aided by magnification, lack of manual handling of viscera and forceful retraction in laparoscopy helps in early recovery of gut function [10,11,16]. However the ability to tolerate semisolid diet was not different between the LAC and OR group.…”

“…It may also reduce the prevalence of postoperative immunosuppression [111] while providing equivalence in cancer outcomes [112][113][114][115][116]. The debate during the last 5 years has centred around whether open surgery undertaken within an ERAS programme can match laparoscopic resection which is similarly optimised.…”

“…A large number of controlled studies and meta‐analyses have shown that laparoscopic surgery is associated with less pain, early recovery of bowel transit and shorter hospital stay compared to open surgery 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. Furthermore, a subset analysis of a randomized trial showed a lower recurrence rate and better survival in patients with stage III colon cancer undergoing laparoscopic surgery compared with open surgery 13, 14, 15, 16, 17.…”
