Bowel function recovery after laparoscopic transverse colectomy within an ERAS program: a comparison to right and left colectomy.

The incidence of PPOI after segmental laparoscopic colectomy for cancer within an ERAS program appears as infrequent in TC as in LC and lower than after RC. It may be reasonable to consider a slower oral intake after RC, as it represents an independent predictor of PPOI.
