Popis: | BACKGROUND: Post-operative complications following rectal resection pose significant health and cost implications for patients and health providers. The objective of this study is to review the associated cost of complications following rectal resection. This included reporting on the proportion and severity of these complications, associated length of stay and surgical technique used.

Studies were included from the year 2010 to account for the implementation of enhanced recovery after surgery protocols. Studies that reported the financial cost associated with complications were included. Any indication for rectal resection was considered.
