Abstract:
The development of laparoscopic colon surgery in Spain has spread quickly since its beginnings at the end of 1991. Colorectal Minimally Invasive Surgery is widely implemented and has changed the way we treat our patients, specially due to the short-term advantages such as lower morbidity with a better quality of life with the same oncological outcomes in the long term. A huge number of Spanish surgeons have contributed to the implementation of techniques and spreading the knowledge of these concepts by means of courses, controlled randomized studies, scientific papers, and books, and have obtained international recognition.
