Abstract: Laparoscopic colorectal surgery has been carried out in China for more than 30 years and has experienced a three-stage high-speed development of "exploring and designing,optimising and standardising, perfecting and re-innovating" at the technical level. Based on the support and assistance of laparoscopic technology, colorectal surgery has made rapid progress in sub-microscopic anatomy, surgical procedures, surgical concepts, instruments and equipment. Nowadays, the technology and efficacy of laparoscopic colorectal surgery have gradually reached the ceiling, and in view of the existing pain points and the future direction of development, where will we go? This article summarised the past three decades of experience and consolidate the results to guide the future practice and the way forward.
