Core Tip
Core tip: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study evaluating the impact of different surgical techniques on the occurrence of post-operative complications. We have evaluated the potential influence of the most relevant surgical differences, including: laparoscopic approach, single access laparoscopy, flexure mobilization, mesenteric artery ligation, specimen extraction site, and diverting ileostomy creation.
