Does minimally invasive colorectal surgery provide adequate postoperative survival in patients with colorectal carcinoma?
Minimally invasive colorectal resections for carcinoma demonstrate a 5-year survival rate of 68% for stages I-III, which the authors consider comparable to historical open surgery outcomes.
H. W. Waclawiczek (2003) conducted a cohort in Colorectal carcinoma (n=105). Minimally invasive colorectal procedures vs. Open surgery was evaluated on 5-year survival for stages I-III. Minimally invasive curative colorectal resections yielded a mean 5-year survival of 68% for stages I-III, which was considered comparable to open surgery.
