Bold values indicate statistically significant

OR open resection, LR laparoscopic resection, CONV laparoscopic conversion

*Added for the colon: location of tumor

**Year of operation

^The following factors were included in the multivariable model to correct for differences in casemix between patients; sex, age, ASA, Charlson Comorbidity Score, BMI, previous abdominal surgery, pre-operative tumor complications, pT-classification

#Added for the rectum: received radiotherapy (non, short course or chemoradiation), procedure (LAR, APR, or different), cT-classification, tumor distance from anal verge
