    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the result of laparoscopic colorectomy in treatment of colorectal cancer. METHODS: Laparoscopic colorectal surgery was performed in 78 patients with colorectal cancer. Operative procedures, complications and postoperative recovery were studied. RESULT: None of the 78 patients died of laparoscopic colorectal surgery or complications. Eleven patients died from tumor metastasis and 2 from other causes. Twenty-one, 17, 8 patients for 1, 3, 5 years survived respectively. In nine patients who had received operation less than 1 year, no tumor recurrence or metastasis was found except in 1 patient 11 months after operation. CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic colorectal cancer resection is essential to colectomy for colon and rectum cancer when indicated.
