Peri-operative strategy in colonic surgery: LAparoscopy and/or FAst track multimodal management versus standard care (LAFA study)

Study hypothesis: That laparoscopic surgery alone or in combination with fast track peri-operative care is to be preferred over open surgery with standard care in patients having segmental colectomy for malignant disease.
Primary outcome(s): 1. Total post-operative hospital stay including readmission within 30 days
2. Quality of life measured by validated questionnaires (SF-36/Gigli) at two and four weeks after surgery
3. Medical and non-medical costs
