Reviewer:  Gianandrea Baldazzi
Reviewer's report:
We congratulate the authors for the interesting experience and the high number of cases enrolled.
Some questions.
1) Does the inclusion only of normal weight patients derive from the fact that the proposed
technique is not feasible in overweight or obese patients? (which unfortunately represent a not
low percentage in the western world)
2) It is possible to better explain what the positioning of . "slings of the transverse mesocolon in
right- and left-hemicolectomy were applied with purse suturing needles"?
3) Why is an intracorporeal anastomosis not performed in the right hemicolectomy (which has
long been considered the best technique)?
4) Is it correct to always consider a SILS+1 procedure in patients in which trocars have been
added? Wouldn't it be more correct to consider them as a conversion towards the CLS procedure?
