Does laparoscopic colorectomy provide safe and effective long-term outcomes in patients with colorectal cancer?
Laparoscopic colorectal resection is a feasible and safe approach for colorectal cancer, demonstrating low perioperative mortality and favorable long-term survival.
Lu et al. (2012) conducted an observational in Colorectal cancer (n=889). Laparoscopic colorectomy was evaluated on Overall survival rate. Laparoscopic colorectomy in patients with colorectal cancer demonstrated an 18.2% perioperative complication rate and an 80.98% overall survival rate over a median 29-month follow-up.
