- Abstract
There's no consensus about what defines a conversion for laparoscopic-assisted colorectal resection (LACR). This study's goal was to assess the utility of a strict incision length (IL) definition of conversion (incision > 7 cm) and compare it with results obtained when the surgeon determined (SD) if a LACR had been successfully completed.
