Laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer

Laparoscopic Colorectal Cancer Surgery

Laparoscopic Colorectal Cancer Surgery

Laparoscopic techniques have been introduced into the colorectal field since the beginning of the last decade of the last millennium. The main purpose of this minimally invasive approach is to minimise the trauma of access associated with a large abdominal incision in colorectal resection. The less traumatic approach to surgery hopefully would lead to less wound pain, hasten return of intestina...

Advances in laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer: fluorescence- guided surgery

Laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer (CRC) has been thoroughly investigated in a multitude of studies and has proved to have equivalent oncologic outcomes to open surgery, yet with the advantages of minimal tissue trauma, shorter hospital stay and quicker recovery. Recent advances in laparoscopic surgical treatment of CRC have been introduced in attempt to enhance the technique and improv...

Colorectal Cancer: Laparoscopic versus Open Surgery

Many studies have suggested that laparoscopic surgery is superior to open surgery. However, the acceptance of laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer has been rather slow in clinical practice. The present study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of laparoscopic versus open surgery for colorectal cancers. A randomised control trial was conducted including 100 patients of colorectal cancer...

Laparoscopic Surgery for Colorectal Polyps

BACKGROUND Size, location, and type of colonic polyps may prevent colonoscopic polypectomy. Laparoscopic colectomy may serve as an optimal alternative in these patients. We assessed the perioperative outcome and the risk for cancer in patients operated on laparoscopically for colonic polyps not amenable to colonoscopic resection. METHODS An evaluation was conducted of our prospective accumula...
