Background: The incidence of colorectal carcinoma has been increasing. Only a multimodal treatment provides the best results. Surgical
R0 resection of all tumour sites is the goal of all treatment regimes.
Material and methods: A survey on the literature and our experiences has been conducted.
Results: Surgical treatment comprises endoscopic submucosal dissection, transanal endoscopic microsurgery, laparoscopy, open surgery
and cytoreduction surgery with the hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy. The news is the total mesocolic excision that similarly
to the total mesorectal excision provides fewer local relapses and higher long-term survival.
Conclusion: Similarly to anti-tumoral medical therapy, the surgery has been developing as well. It is necessary to enrol the patients into
suitable databases to state the proper position of all surgical methods in the multimodal treatment algorithm.
