Laparoscopic combined organ resection for gastrointestinal cancer / 中华消化外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Currently adopted surgical approaches of laparoscopic combined organ resection for gastrointestinal cancer include laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy and gastrectomy, laparoscopic gastrectomy combined distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy, laparoscopic gastrectomy and cholecystectomy, laparoscopic rectal anterior resection and total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and laparescopic colorectal and hepatic metastases resection. Satisfactory clinical outcomes of these procedures for gastrointestinal cancer were obtained in the reported cases. However, the number of cases in current studies on laparoscopic combined organ resection for gastrointestinal cancer was too small and no control groups involved, and multicenter clinical trials were not yet conducted. In conclusion, the future of laparoscopic combined organ resection for gastrointestinal cancer is promising, while its feasibility and safety require further investigation.
