Introduction:
The authors present their experience with laparoscopic resections of the large intestine in patients with colorectal carcinomas. The aim is to discuss and assess peroperative and early postoperative surgical complications.
Methodology:
From 1st January to 30th June, the team of authors operated over 350 patients with colorectal carcinomas. In 264 patients the team completed laparoscopic resections (laparoscopy-assisted) of the colo-rectum. Patients who, following an initial laparoscopic exploration, underwent a classical procedure and patients who underwent derivation stomies, eventually by- pass procedures, were excluded from the study group.
Results:
In 16 patients (out of the total 264 laparoscopic colectomies) the laparoscopic procedure was converted. The rate of peroperative complications was 3.4% and the rate of postoperative surgical complications was 14.4%. Five patients in our study group exited before the postoperative day 30. Two of these cases were directly related to surgical postoperative complications.
Conclusion:
Laparoscopic colectomy is a method of choice in patients with colorectal carcinomas. The more experienced the surgeon and the whole team, the lower the total lethality rate. The rate is similar to that of classical colectomies, however some indicators prefer the laparoscopic procedure.

Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
