Colorectal cancer (CRC) is epidemiologically the third most prevalent cancer diagnosed in men and the second in women. Laparoscopic surgery has been a surgical revolution in CRC, facilitating a better recovery of patients with lower morbidity. CRC provides better esthetic results compared to traditional surgery via laparotomy without compromising safety and long-term oncological results. Source: Bollo, J., Salas, P., Martinez, M.C.
