Flap reconstruction in rectal resection and exenteration surgery: a single centre retrospective cohort study
This study demonstrates that ELAPE with flap reconstruction can be safely and effectively performed in a large public hospital setting, with outcomes comparable to high-volume tertiary centres. The findings underscore the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration in achieving high-quality surgical and reconstructive outcomes, and how these can be achieved in a large public hospital.
