Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

  • This is a very extensive review of the state of art for surgical approacch to locally advanced and recurrent rectal cancer. 

  • excellent dexcription of the evolution of surgical resectable disease with dedicated sections to contemporary strategies and future perspectives  with higly appropiate references 

  • There is a number of citations of papers from the PELVEX cooperative group but I do not consider them self citations but rather the right quoting of the work from a group tha is setting the standars for this surgical approach

Reviewer 2 Report

This manuscript mainly summarizes the contemporary management of locally advanced and recurrent rectal cancer in terms of surgical procedure. The article is well-organized in structure and has reviewed the perioperative management approaches for locoregional and recurrent rectal carcinoma. The references cited are up-to-date and appropriate. However, short-comings still remain in the present work as the following:

 

  1. In the abstract, extra words 1 and 13 are seen in line 6 and line 20, respectively. This may imply that the author has copied the content from the introduction as the abstract. Please write a new abstract instead.
  2. As a surgeon specialized in laparoscopic surgery, I think more newly published and novel references on minimally invasive surgery should be included such as Nonaka T , Tominaga T ,  Akazawa Y , et al. Feasibility of laparoscopic-assisted transanal pelvic exenteration in locally advanced rectal cancer with anterior invasion[J]. Techniques in Coloproctology, 2020(16).

 

In conclusion, the manuscript is interesting and practical and it could be published after minor revision.

Author Response

Thank you to the reviewer for their kind review/comments 

 

Point 1 - Introduction will become the abstract per Special Editors suggestions

 

Point 2 - When can add in Ref: Nonaka T , Tominaga T ,  Akazawa Y , et al. Feasibility of laparoscopic-assisted transanal pelvic exenteration in locally advanced rectal cancer with anterior invasion[J]. Techniques in Coloproctology, 2020(16).

 

Thanks
