Perioperative patients usually suffer from metabolic response. This metabolic state is usually the result of some blend of response to partial starvation and to injury or specific diseases. Metabolic response to starvation and acute injury is inbuilt response to ensure maximal survival with a limited food intake. Yet, progressive loss of body tissue may have lethal consequences. Enhanced recovery after surgery is an optimized strategy of perioperative treatment based on variations of meta bolic state. It can reduce damage and acute injury, as well as facilitating early recovery after major surgery.

Laparoscopic surgery for gastrointestinal tumors have been conducted in the Department of General Surgery of Nanfang Hospital since 2002. Within the past decade, the education and training courses of laparoscopic surgical techniques were given to over 2,000 gastrointestinal surgeons. From these experience, we believed that efficient and high quality laparoscopic surgical training program should combine the following philosophies: thorough understanding of anatomy under laparoscopic view was the cornerstone; skilled cooperation between surgeon, assistant and laparoscopist would ensure the safety and fluency of the surgery; training course should be designed according to the laparoscopic skills of the trainee. Based on these understandings of laparoscopic education and training, we would further perfect and standardize our training system so as to contribute to the future development and popularization of laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery in China.

Laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery has experienced 30 years of development in China, and has now entered a high plateau stage at the technical level. Laparoscopic surgery, once an emerging technology, is gradually becoming a "traditional surgery". Meanwhile, laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery is gradually moving towards a new situation of multi-disciplinary and multi-technical integration. High-quality clinical studies are constantly being reported, and new tools and techniques are emerging. In the next era, the development of laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery will focus more on international research, digital surgery, high-tech operating rooms, etc. An urging requirement is to understand and face the current intensified involution and other practical problems, and to create another glorious innovation for Chinese laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery in the next 30 years.

Magnetic compression anastomosis can compress tissues together and restore the continuity. Magnetic compression anastomosis mainly experienced three stages: magnetic ring, magnetic ring and column, and smart self-assembling magnets for endoscopy (SAMSEN). Nowadays, the magnetic compression anastomosis has been applied in vascular and different digestive tract surgeries, especially for complex surgery, such as anastomotic stenosis of biliary ducts after liver transplantation or congenital esophageal stenosis. Although only case reports are available at present, the advantages of the magnetic compression anastomosis includes lower cost, simplicity, individualization, good efficacy, safety, and minimally invasiveness. We are building a better technical platform to make magnetic compression anastomosis more advanced and popularized.

Sphincter preservation resection has been the first choice for rectal cancer, not only for high and mid-rectal cancer, but also for low rectal cancer. Were sphincter preservation resection indicated and suitable for all of the patients with rectal cancer? The aim of this paper is to discuss when sphincter preservation resection should be chosen? Firstly we should have a thorough preoperative assessment for the patients. After that we should determine the indications of sphincter preservation resection according to the NCCN guideline. Meanwhile, surgical approach should be balanced between long term survival and functional outcomes.As a result, what is most important in sphincter preservation resection is reaching satisfaction both in curative resection and functional outcomes. These are also the reasons for rational utilization of sphincter preservation resection for rectal cancer.

The precise anatomic surgery is the cornerstone of curative resection and is becoming a trend of modern surgery. Currently, there are still many inadequate resections of colon cancer continue to be performed. Complete mesocolic excision (CME) according to the surgical plane, based on the principles of oncology, is a high-quality radical operation obtaining optimal oncological pathological specimen, with precise surgical concept throughout the entire surgical procedure. CME has been proposed for three years. Although there are still some controversies, CME has set off a worldwide climax of emphasis on quality of colon surgery. It is time to focus on the quality of colon-cancer surgery in order to ensure that all patients with colon cancer receive the highest possible chance for cure.
