Wound recurrence rates appear to be low. Although length of follow-up is limited, patterns of recurrence from previous studies suggest that 80 percent of recurrences should have occurred within one year. Given the limitations of a Phase II study, the hypothesis that recurrence rate is low is supported. However, prospective randomized trials are needed to establish if any difference in wound recurrence rates after laparoscopic or open resection of colorectal cancer exists.
