Core Tip	Several randomized trials and meta-analyses have confirmed that the implementation of early rehabilitation programs for perioperative care is useful for recovery of patients after colorectal resection. However, most of the previous evidence is obtained from studies of early rehabilitation programs adapted to open colonic resection. Currently, early rehabilitation combined with laparoscopic rectal surgery can be a feasible alternative in some selected patients, but indications are not established. Current evidence fails to support the safety of early rehabilitation combined with laparoscopic rectal surgery compared to that reported for laparoscopic colon surgery.
