Background Recently, the laparoscopic or minimally invasive approach has become common practice for planned colorectal malignancies. Its use in the emergency setting is limited by various factors, including resource availability and surgical expertise. However, more recent evidence suggests a laparoscopic approach to colorectal emergencies, which is comparable with laparoscopic routine work, and often promising. In this study, authors have investigated the outcome of the laparoscopic approach in both benign and malignant colorectal emergencies. Method Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data (theater records, histology database, and discharge records) over the course of 9 years. The standard surgical approach included conventional laparoscopic and single-port technique (single-incision laparoscopic surgery). The outcome variables included in the final analysis were: success of the minimally invasive approach, conversion rate, postoperative complications, return to theater, and mortality. Results A total of 202 (males, 110 and females, 92) emergency patients with a median age of 59 years underwent surgery between December 2009 and 2019. The mean operating time was 169 minutes and median American Society of Anesthesiology grade III. Single-incision laparoscopic surgery was used in 19 patients (9.4%). The conversion to open surgery was 12.3% (n=25). The majority of them had primary anastomosis (n= 132, 65.3%).The complications from most to least frequent were: CONCLUSION:: The favorable results obtained in this study underline the theme that with the availability of resources and expertise, it is possible to offer minimal invasive approach to emergency colonic pathology.
