Surgical Approach and Variation in Long-Term Survival Following Colorectal Cancer Surgery Using Instrumental Variable Analysis
Patients undergoing minimally invasive surgical approaches for colon and rectal cancer had improved long-term survival. However, long-term survival changes did not correlate with the large expansion of minimally invasive approaches, which suggests that growing these approaches is not a viable strategy to improve long-term patient outcomes.
