Abstract

Many of the general principles that have been learned from open colon and rectal surgery can be applied to laparoscopic and robotic surgery. Patients undergoing minimally invasive colorectal surgery need a full history and physical exam, with particular attention paid to the number and types of previous abdominal surgeries, as well as any history of any significant abdominal infection. This should be accompanied by appropriate blood work, electrocardiogram, chest x-ray, and other investigations as dictated by the patient’s age and comorbidities. For patients with colon and rectal cancer, routine preoperative evaluation includes preoperative staging and assessment of resectability, as well as a full colonoscopy to rule out synchronous lesions.
