Core Tip
Core tip: Fast-track rehabilitation in laparoscopic colorectal resection has become the most fashionable way to treat colorectal malignancy. Complications after fast-track rehabilitation protocol and laparoscopic surgery (LFT) and conventional care strategies and laparoscopic surgery (LCC) of colorectal resection have generally been discussed in China, as well as in other countries. This study clarified that compared with LCC, LFT has fewer complications and has a similar incidence of re-admission after approximately 1 mo.
