LapEmerge trial: study protocol for a laparoscopic approach for emergency colon resection —a multicenter, open label, randomized controlled trial

DiscussionPrevious studies cautiously recommend wider use of laparoscopy in emergency colorectal resections, but all earlier reports are retrospective, are mostly single-center studies, and have limited numbers of patients. Laparoscopy may involve some unpredictable risks that have not yet been reported because of the infrequent use of the techniqueded to assess the safety of laparoscopy as well as the advantages and disadvantages of open compared with laparoscopic emergency surgery.Trial registrationTrial registration number:  ClinicalTrials.gov NCT05005117.
