Key result
Laparoscopic colorectal surgery for malignant etiology was associated with a 21.4% early complication rate, 4.8% mortality rate, and a mean hospital stay of 6 days.
Why the study?
Although laparoscopic colorectal surgery can be performed safely with favorable outcomes, it is not yet accepted as the gold standard in colorectal surgery.
Observational (n=42)
No
Laparoscopic colorectal surgery can be performed safely with acceptable short-term complication rates and hospital stay.
Supports laparoscopic colorectal cancer resections in experienced centers; leaves open gold-standard status without higher-level long-term data.
Introduction: Laparoscopic colorectal surgery can be performed safely with a low complication rate, short hospital stay, and adequate surgical resection and lymph node dissection. However, it is not accepted as the gold standard in colorectal surgery yet. The objective of this study was to discuss the short-term results of laparoscopic surgical resections for colorectal cancer in the context of the literature.
