ABSTRACT
The introduction of laparoscopy for the treatment of colorectal cancer initiated considerable controversy regarding its oncologic appropriateness. Prospective randomized trials were initiated to systematically compare laparoscopic with open techniques. Over a decade later there appears to be abundant evidence indicating that laparoscopic surgery is at least as safe and oncologically sound for the treatment of colorectal carcinoma as are open techniques. Moreover, in addition to the benefits associated with a minimally access technique, laparoscopic colectomy may confer a disease-free survival benefit to a subgroup of patients with colon cancer.
