Laparoscopic surgery for stage I colorectal cancer

Abstract

LS was shown to be technically feasible and oncologically sound for the treatment of patients with stage I colorectal cancer, and favorable short- and long-term outcomes were obtained.

“…Furthermore, most Japanese insurance plans cover the complete cost of hospitalization. As a result, neither patients nor surgeons are eager for early discharge [14].…”

Retrospective, matched case-control study comparing the oncologic outcomes between laparoscopic surgery and open surgery in patients with right-sided colon cancer

“…1,2 This procedure has several distinct advantages in comparison to open surgery, including briefer use of analgesics, earlier return of bowel motility, a shorter hospital stay, and faster perioperative recovery. 2,3 The metaanalysis of the results of 2512 procedures from 12 randomized clinical trials reported improved short-term outcomes for laparoscopic surgery in comparison to conventional open surgery for colorectal cancer.…”

A propensity score-matching analysis comparing the oncological outcomes of laparoscopic and open surgery in patients with Stage I/II colon and upper rectal cancers

“…However, this effect may be explained by the fact that surgical stress, which impairs immunity [27,28], is more intense following OC than LAC [29,30]; because the immunity plays a crucial role in tumor progression and metastatic spread [31,32]. Furthermore, the laparoscope, which utilizes a telescopic video camera, usually gives the surgeons a better, magnified view of the internal organs than may be achieved by the unaided eye during traditional OC [33,34].…”
