Abstract

During the past 15 years, there has been increasing enthusiasm for the use of laparoscopic techniques in the operative treatment of patients suffering from colorectal disease. Laparoscopic colectomy has been demonstrated to be safe for patients suffering from adenocarcinoma of the intraperitoneal colon. Attention is now being focused on the treatment of patients with rectal adenocarcinoma using laparoscopic methods. Prospective data analysis will be crucial in determining whether laparoscopic proctectomy provides equivalent results to open procedures. J. Surg. Oncol. 2007;96:660–664. Β© 2007 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
