Clinical application of laparoscopic-assisted surgery for colorectal neoplasm / 中国微创外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the clinical application oflaparoscopic-assisted operation to colorectal neoplasms. Methods 28 cases of colorectal neoplasms underwent laparoscopic surgery from July 1997 to November 2000. The mean age was 65.3 years old(33～89)years.3 cases underwent right hemicolectomy.1 case of sigmoid colon adenoma was given partial colectomy. Sigmoid-rectal anterior resection was conducted in 21 cases. 3 cases underwent abdominal peritonieal resection. Results 5 cases were converted to open laparotomy.The mean operative time was 178(150～300)min for 23 cases given laparoscopic surgery with 135(30～1000)ml of average intraoperative bleeding. Neither postoperative complications nor intraoperative deaths occurred.1 case of low portion rectal cancer showed abdominal metastasis 12 months after surgery.Neither port site nor incision metastasis happened. Conclusions Laparoscopic assisted surgery has the advantages of less surgical trauma,less gastrointestinal interference and quicker recovery. Under the circumstances of radical resection and selected candidate,laparoscopic assisted surgery can be applied to colorectal neoplasms.
