- Abstract
The article discusses the correlation of laparoscopic colorectal resection with an unpredictable length of stay (LOS) without an enhanced recovery programme. It mentions that the correlation has driven the concept of fast track enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in 1999 which lessen the LOS significantly. It adds that the laparoscopic technique did not show advantage over an open surgical approach in relation to postoperative LOS.
