RESUMO
Objective To investigate the experience of laparoscopic complete mesocolic excision ( CME) for colon cancer. Methods There were102 patients,of which 68 cases with colon cancer were performed laparoscopic CME,34 cases were treated by traditional surgery. The 2 groups were reviewed retrospectively. Results As compared with the traditional group,the operation time,time of first flatus,hospital stay in the CME group increased. The postoperative suction drainage was decreased in CME group. The CME group had less blood loss and more mean lymph nodes clearance than the traditional group. The complication incidences had no significant differences between 2 groups. Conclusion Laparoscopic CME for colon cancer,with the advantages of less tumor spreading and more thoroughly lymph node dissection,is worthy of clinical application.
