Summary

Retrospective cohort study used to analyze trends in minimally invasive versus open surgery in colorectal surgery, over time, in outcome in the laparoscopic, robotic and open surgery groups in patients receiving colorectal resections. Analysis will be performed using data collected through the American College of Surgeons (ACS) National Surgical Quality Improvement Project (NSQIP) database, a national database with deidentified data entered by trained nurse data reviewers.

Conditions

  • Colorectal Adenocarcinoma
  • Colorectal Surgery

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Laparoscopic rectal surgery

Minimally invasive surgery and specialized technique for performing surgery using smaller incisions (or ports) to enter into the abdomen or anus for a tubular instrument(trochar), and a special camera (laparoscope), which is passed through the trochars to visualize the colon.

PROCEDURE

Open rectal surgery

Surgery performed through a single long incision (cut) in the abdomen (belly) to access the colon and/or the rectum.
