The aim of the study was to evaluate laparoscopic-assisted colorectal resection for malignancies in terms of effectiveness, safety and medium-term survival, comparing our results with those reported in literature. From November 2000 to March 2004, 78 patients with colorectal malignancies underwent laparoscopic-assisted resection. All anastomoses were performed extracorporeally. Where indicated, patients underwent pre- or post-operative chemo-radiotherapy. All patients were followed up at regular intervals for a mean period of 18 months (2-42). The conversion rate was 14.1% and mean intraoperative blood loss was 120 cc. The post-operative morbidity rate was 15.3%. The mean number of lymph nodes removed was 12 (3-38) and all resection margins were clear and adequate. The observed overall and "disease-free" survival rates were similar to those reported in literature. Although the body of evidence needs to be increased, our findings and the data in the literature suggest that laparoscopic-assisted resection for colorectal malignancies is safe and effective, also in the medium and long term. |
