Adoption of strategies to reduce the risk of reoperation may be associated with the additional advantage of improved oncological outcomes in addition to the short‐term advantages.

A large proportion of patients with recurrent episodes of sigmoid diverticulitis would have preferred earlier resection.

Regarding an abdominal operation, rectopexy has fewer major complications than resection.

Sphincter function and rectal volume tolerability were not affected. DGN stimulation may represent a new treatment for idiopathic FI.

The dose of BT used was arbitrarily selected. Nevertheless, the study introduces a further therapeutic option in the treatment of FI caused by rectal overactivity.

A scientific audit of the true level of compliance, effectiveness and cost‐benefit is warranted at a national level.

Similar postoperative morbidity was observed in each group.

Development of standardized criteria will allow more accurate comparison of results between studies assessing hospital length of stay or other discharge‐related outcome measures.

The Glove port technique facilitates procedural frequency and familiarity and proves economically favourable.

Increased MMP‐9 expression by GITR signaling might explain the morphological changes in the colonic wall of perforated and phlegmonous diverticulitis. Analysis of soluble GITR (sGITR) might be a promising strategy for future research.

Nevertheless laparoscopic skills in emergency is widespread. The recommendations given with the consensus process might be a useful tool in the hands of surgeons.

High readmission rates reported in ERPs after open colorectal surgery have not occurred in our laparoscopic experience.

Patient selection is fundamental for success.

This did not influence resection rates. Dukes’ stage was higher for urgent referrals. Long term follow up is required to determine any impact on survival.

Colorectal cancer incidence increased by a small and similar, amount over the period in both groups. There was a male preponderance of colorectal cancer in both populations over 50 years.

The benefit of this approach should be discussed in specialist MDT meetings and tailored to each patient; however, national guidelines for management are required.

This explains the published variable response to botulinum toxin. Failure to respond should prompt EUA seeking undiagnosed rectal prolapse. A response to an initial dose of botulinum toxin might be considered a more reliable diagnosis of anismus than proctography.

THD has a better cost‐effective ratio and lower (not significant) pain compared with SH. Postoperative pain and recurrence did not differ significantly between the two groups.

A PET‐CT report should suggest colonoscopy when abnormal findings are reported.

Further high‐quality studies are necessary to compare flap with off‐midline repairs.

Telephone follow‐up by specialist nurses may be a feasible option. A main trial comparing hospital and telephone follow‐up is justified although consideration needs to be given to trial design and practical issues related to the availability of specialist nurses at study locations.

Pathological findings of the appendix, including neoplasm, are frequent but clinical relevance remains questionable.

Although the outcomes observed were compatiblewith the literature, the 6 fold higher mortality rate observed in the most elderly patients identifiedpatients for which death prevention is best achieved with aggressive resuscitation and intensive post operative care,rather than timing of surgery.

These findings provide a rationalization of the surgical, embryologic and anatomic approaches to the mesocolon. This has implications for all related sciences.

However, there is a need for further improvements by combining the laparoscopic technique with fast‐track recovery.

A nurse led clinic provides the benefits of follow‐up without overwhelming the consultant colorectal surgical clinic practice.

Laparoscopic surgery is now the standard of care for complicated and uncomplicated diverticular disease in our institution.

This evidence is increasingly strong and it grows along with the progress in the knowledge of carcinogenesis molecular pathways. Clinical application of ACF as an intermediate endpoint for colorectal carcinogenesis is under development and a deeper knowledge of cancer mechanisms is needed before it can be applied or discarded.

The remaining seven patients with right‐sided cancer would have been missed if FS were the only investigation used. Patients presenting on the 2ww with symptoms of a CIBH and or RB can be adequately investigated with a FS with a 3% chance of missing a proximal cancer.

Compared with SNPs for ABCB1 rs1045642, rs2032582 or rs3789243 alone, combined haplotypes of several SNPs might be a better marker to determine the genetic influence on the susceptibility to CRC among Caucasians.

The clinical significance of p.Q338H should be evaluated in future case‐control studies, since compound heterozygotes for pathogenic mutations and p.Q338H may be at increased risk for mild polyposis or CRC. In addition MUTYH should be assessed as a potential susceptibility gene for the development of colitis‐associated CRC in future.

Local recurrence of rectal cancer is often associated with intractable symptoms. These patients require frequent interventions and can rarely be cured if diagnosed at an advanced stage. Strategies for early detection of local recurrence and the management thereof require improvement.

Repeated colonoscopy of patients with right‐sided adenomas at a shorter surveillance interval deserves consideration.

Pelvic exenteration can improve long‐term survival, especially for patients with primary advanced rectal cancer. However, pelvic exenteration is also justified for patients with locally recurrent rectal cancer.
