Abstract

The benefits of the laparoscopic approach in selected colorectal resections have been clearly established. Currently, there are many prospective, randomized trials showing that laparoscopic surgery can be performed safely in patients with colorectal cancer, and many series have compared the laparoscopic approach with the conventional approach in a range of colorectal procedures. These studies have confirmed that laparoscopically assisted colectomy is oncologically safe, expanding the role of a primary laparoscopic approach in complicated colorectal disease as well as in the management of acute colorectal conditions and postoperative complications after an initial laparoscopic colorectal resection.
