“…Furthermore, laparoscopic surgery has not been shown to increase early or late complications 88,89 and the costs and outcomes are comparable to open resection. 90 Laparoscopic surgery is acceptable in the elderly 91 and seems to be generally safe in selected patients with complicated disease. 92 However, laparoscopic surgery is still major surgery, which should be reserved for patients who suffer repeat attacks or who remain unwell despite medical treatment.…”

“…Compared with open surgery, laparoscopic surgery offers many benefits, such as smaller surgical wounds, good esthetic results, less pain, decreased use of analgesics, early recovery of intestinal peristalsis, and a shorter hospital stay [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] . In terms of inflammatory cytokine levels, however, the minimal invasiveness of laparoscopic surgery remains controversial.…”

Abstract:Laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer has been shown to be less invasive than open surgery, while maintaining a similar safety level in many clinical trials. Furthermore, there are no significant differences between laparoscopic surgery and open surgery with respect to the long-term outcomes in colon cancer. Thus, laparoscopic surgery has been accepted as one of the standard treatments for colon cancer. In addition, laparoscopic surgery has also achieved favorable outcomes in the treatments of rectal cancer, with many reports showing long-term outcomes comparable to those of open surgery. Furthermore, the magnification in laparoscopy improves visualization in the pelvic cavity and facilitates precise manipulation, as well as providing an excellent educational opportunity. Laparoscopic surgery may be an ideal approach for the treatment of rectal cancer and colon cancer. Recently, two trials showed that, among patients with advanced rectal cancer, the use of laparoscopic surgery as compared with open surgery confirmed to meet the criterion for non-inferiority for long-term outcomes. In addition, new techniques such as single-port and robotic surgery have been introduced for laparoscopic surgery in recent years.

In many clinical studies, laparoscopic surgery (LS) for colon cancer has been shown to be less invasive than open surgery (OS) while maintaining similar safety. Furthermore, there are no significant differences between LS and OS in long-term outcomes. Thus, LS has been accepted as one of the standard treatments for colon cancer. In the treatments of rectal cancer as well, LS has achieved favorable outcomes, with many reports showing long-term outcomes comparable to those of OS. Furthermore, the magnification in laparoscopy improves visualization in the pelvic cavity and facilitates precise manipulation, as well as providing excellent educational effects. For these reasons, rectal cancer has seemed to be well indicated for LS, as has been colon cancer.
