  • Title: [Indication for laparoscopic resection of colorectal cancer].
    Author: Böhm B, Engelhardt T, Seifert M, Bauer G.
    Journal: Zentralbl Chir; 2003 Apr; 128(4):329-32; discussion 332. PubMed ID: 12700991.
    Abstract:
    Whether a laparoscopic resection for colorectal cancer is indicated depends on the technical feasibility as well as on the potential advantages of the laparoscopic approach compared to conventional surgery. Short-term results from 11 randomized studies are available showing potential advantages. Long term results from 2 randomized trials do not suggest disadvantages but more likely some survival benefits.
