Core Tip
Core Tip: Laparoscopic colorectal cancer resection combined with in situ biodegradable intestinal stent bypass markedly lowers postoperative anastomotic leakage and reoperation rates, accelerates gastrointestinal recovery, reduces overall complications, and shows excellent safety without increasing surgical trauma, thus deserving wide clinical adoption for colorectal cancer treatment, especially in high-risk patients.
