Key result
Laparoscopic colonic resection shows marginal improvements over open surgery (median hospital stay 5-7 days), while multimodal rehabilitation after open surgery reduces stay to 2-4 days.
Why the study?
Does laparoscopic colonic resection improve postoperative recovery compared with open surgery in the context of multimodal rehabilitation?
Does laparoscopic colonic resection improve postoperative recovery compared with open surgery in the context of multimodal rehabilitation?
The integration of laparoscopic colonic resection with multimodal rehabilitation requires further study to establish its advantages and cost-effectiveness over open surgery with multimodal rehabilitation.

Multimodal rehabilitation after open surgery may shorten stays more than laparoscopy; leaves open whether combining both improves outcomes over enhanced recovery alone.
Kehlet et al. (2006) conducted a review in Colonic surgery. Laparoscopic colonic resection vs. Open surgery was evaluated on Hospital stay. Laparoscopic colonic resection shows marginal improvements over open surgery (median hospital stay 5-7 days), while multimodal rehabilitation after open surgery reduces stay to 2-4 days.
