Abstract: The outcomes of the laparoscopic approach were comparable to those for open surgeries accompanied by radical lymph node dissection.

“…As we reported previously, in the surgical groups at our associated hospitals, we employ standardized operative procedures and hold periodic meetings to discuss improving LAC procedures (22,23). In obese patients, assistants should recognize that the effective point to grasp tissue in order to obtain adequate surgical views is strictly limited, and the surgeon should recognize that the length of tissue that can be cut in one task is very narrow.…”

“…Our results are consistent with previously published studies. 41–43 The mean number of lymph nodes harvested in our cohort (21) is higher than in most published articles. Odermatt et al 44 reported a mean number of 12 lymph nodes, and Wang et al 45 reported an average of 12.8 examined lymph nodes.…”

“…Our results also revealed that there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups. Numata and colleagues 27) examined the long-term outcomes in patients with Stage I/II colon cancer. They also reported that there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups, although the study was relatively small.…”
