Abstract

|
Since the first report of a laparoscopic colon surgery, several multi-center prospective randomized controlled trials have demonstrated the short-term benefits of using laparoscopy in treating colorectal cancer. Now the laparoscopic approach is accepted as an alternative to open surgery for colon cancer. However, the learning curve for laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery is steep because of technical difficulties. Sigmoid colon cancer occurs in 30∼40% of colorectal cancer patients, and laparoscopic sigmoidectomy is one of the most frequently performed colorectal surgeries. The authors describe patient preparation and operative techniques.
