“…Although laparoscopic techniques were first applied to colorectal surgery in 1991, [3][4][5][6] the approach has not been widely adopted. This is largely because of concerns over the safety of these techniques in cancer surgery.…”

Patterns of Recurrence and Survival After Laparoscopic and Conventional Resections for Colorectal Carcinoma

ObjectiveTo determine whether survival and recurrence after laparoscopic-assisted surgery for colorectal cancer is compromised by an initial laparoscopic approach. Summary Background DataLaparoscopic colorectal resection for malignancy remains controversial 8 years after its first description. Fears regarding compromised oncologic principles and early recurrence (particularly the phenomenon of port-site metastases) have tempered enthusiasm for this approach. Long-term follow-up data are at present scarce.

“…To date, no prospective randomized trial has been reported. The first reports of the application of laparoscopic surgery to colon resection were in 1991 [5,12,13,15,18,22,23]. Redwine and Sharpe detailed the transanal extraction of an endometrioma of the sigmoid colon with a stapled end-to-end anastomosis [20].…”

Laparoscopic abdominoperineal excision of the rectum

et al. 1995

In laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection of the rectum (LAP-AP) an abdominal incision is completely avoided as the tumor is delivered through the perineal incision. It is our belief that the view provided in the pelvis by laparoscopy is significantly better than at laparotomy and allows excellent anatomical definition and meticulous dissection. In this study we compared the adequacy of excision of the first 12 patients undergoing LAP-AP to the last 16 patients undergoing open abdominoperineal resection (OP-AP). In all patients the procedure was carried with curative intent for adenocarcinoma and the Dukes staging and Jass score's were similar in both groups. [table: see text] The data demonstrate similar nodal harvest in both groups as well as extent of radial excision. However, two patients in the open group had microscopic radial margin involvement despite being microscopically clear at surgery. We conclude that although long-term follow-up is required to address the issue of local cancer recurrence, laparoscopic rectal dissection appears as good as open surgery and may allow a more precise assessment of excision margins.
