Abstract:
Laparoscopy is associated with better postoperative outcome than laparotomy in the treatment of colon cancer, and similar oncologic results. Thus, laparoscopy is now a validated approach to colon cancer management. In contrast, more studies are needed before endorsing the use of laparoscopy to treat rectal carcinoma. The initial oncologic results are encouraging, but the procedure is complex and the learning curve is long.
