Laparoscopic colorectal surgery

Abstract

I believe that some details from the mentioned article need to be further clarified, especially for the sake of colleagues who are about to start or have just started performing these operations. Thus, Figure 1 of the mentioned article shows the position of the patient and the members of the surgical team, which differs from the usual layout, and which we use when performing such operations in our surgical clinic. Namely, considering that it is usually done with only 4 trocars, a second assistant is unnecessary, at least in most of the operation.
