Objective: Laparoscopic approach should be offered for most patients requiring colectomy, as it is a safe procedure, associated with shorter hospitalization, better cosmetic results, and does not affect negatively the oncological outcomes of patients with colon cancer. However, there is no consistent data on the safety of laparoscopic surgery training during residency. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess whether or not the resident par- ticipation in laparoscopic colectomy affected the postoperative outcomes. Methods: The database of the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Im- provement Program (ACS-NSQIP) was searched for patients undergoing laparoscopic col- ectomies between 2005 and 2007. We excluded patient...
