Patient experiences of left-sided colorectal resection by robotic, conventional laparoscopic and open approaches: a qualitative study
ConclusionsPatients generally have a positive view of RS and technical innovation in surgery. Concerns mostly centred around failure of technology. Many patients felt unprepared for significant factors in their perioperative experience. Surgeons and healthcare providers should be prepared to address patients ’ perceptions and expectations of colorectal surgery preoperatively. (Source: Techniques in Coloproctology)

Predictive modelling for high-risk stage II colon cancer using auto-artificial intelligence
ConclusionsWe developed a new predictive model that could predict recurrent high-risk stage II CC with high probability using auto-AI Prediction One software. Patients with  ≥ 2 of the aforementioned factors are considered to have high risks for recurrent stage II CC and may benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy. (Source: Techniques in Coloproctology)

Operative blood loss adversely affects short and long-term outcomes after colorectal cancer surgery: results of a systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionsIncreased operative blood loss may adversely impact short term and long-term postoperative outcomes. Measures should be taken to minimize operative blood loss during colorectal cancer surgery. Due to the uncertainty of evidence identified, further research, with standardised methodology, is required on this important subject. (Source: Techniques in Coloproctology)
