Innovations and evolutions in colorectal surgery

olorectal cancer is on of the commonest cancers in the world. The incidence of this is increasing in the Middle East and Asia,
especially in younger people. With the unfortunate increase in incidence, research into the treatment and subsequent outcome
has improved significantly. From a 5-year survival of 25% in 1975 to a 57% survival in recent years, the modality of the treatment
has also evolved. From days of open surgery to TME surgery and enhanced recovery after surgery, then from laparoscopic surgery
to robotic surgery and more recently TaTME, outcome for patients have only improved. We will offer an insight into the various
stages of developments of these procedures and pros and cons of some these based on randomized controlled trials, and their cost
effectiveness.
