Core Tip

Core Tip: The management of colorectal cancer in the emergency setting presents distinct challenges. Despite its merits, the applicability of minimally invasive surgery in the emergency setting is limited by factors such as compromised patient physiology, resource constraints, and the need for technical expertise. We discuss our approaches to various colorectal emergencies, critically evaluating available literature, examining the challenges and strategies to overcome them with the goal of increasing minimally invasive surgery penetrance in the management of these conditions.
