Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality globally, and its management in the emergency setting presents distinct challenges. In addition to its advantages in elective CRC surgery, studies have demonstrated that minimally invasive surgery (MIS) can provide benefits in CRC emergencies, such as reduced morbidity and a shorter length of hospitalization. However, the applicability of MIS in the emergency setting is limited by factors such as compromised patient physiology, resource constraints, and the need for technical expertise. As an alternative to emergency MIS, endoscopic interventions have also been increasingly supported by emerging evidence as a bridge to surgery. This article appraises contemporary guidelines and the evidence behind their recommendations for MIS surgery in CRC emergencies, whilst highlighting the challenges to implementation and the strategies to overcome them.
期刊介绍：
The WJCO is a high-quality, peer reviewed, open-access journal. The primary task of WJCO is to rapidly publish high-quality original articles, reviews, editorials, and case reports in the field of oncology. In order to promote productive academic communication, the peer review process for the WJCO is transparent; to this end, all published manuscripts are accompanied by the anonymized reviewers’ comments as well as the authors’ responses. The primary aims of the WJCO are to improve diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive modalities and the skills of clinicians and to guide clinical practice in oncology. Scope: Art of Oncology, Biology of Neoplasia, Breast Cancer, Cancer Prevention and Control, Cancer-Related Complications, Diagnosis in Oncology, Gastrointestinal Cancer, Genetic Testing For Cancer, Gynecologic Cancer, Head and Neck Cancer, Hematologic Malignancy, Lung Cancer, Melanoma, Molecular Oncology, Neurooncology, Palliative and Supportive Care, Pediatric Oncology, Surgical Oncology, Translational Oncology, and Urologic Oncology.
