Cardiac, Anesthesia and Surgical Outcomes

Benefits from laparoscopic colorectal surgery have been widely demonstrated.A steep learning curve is considered the main limitation to its adoption.We present short-term outcomes in a learning curve prospective series.A modular, stepwise approach leads to excellent results.Even trainees can safely learn both laparoscopic and open surgery, when strictly supervised.
