Aim: Surgery is the gold standard treatment for colon cancer. More than 90% of colorectal cancer patients receive surgical treatment. The traditional method is open colon surgery. In our study, we aimed to compare the cases who underwent open and laparoscopic colon surgery retrospectively. Materials and methods: Between January 1, 2015 and March 1, 2022, the clinical and pathological results of 181 patients who underwent colectomy under elective conditions in the Department of General Surgery and Surgical Oncology of Health Sciences University Ankara Training and Research Hospital were reviewed retrospectively and the cases who underwent open and laparoscopic surgery were compared. Results: Of the patients, 114 (63%) were male and 67 (37%) were female. There was a statistically significant difference between the cases who underwent open surgery and laparoscopic surgery in terms of operation type, tumor localization, N stage, number of lymph nodes removed, specimen length, operation time, neoadjuvant treatment, disease-free survival and survival (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Although the intraoperative and post-operative findings of the cases who underwent open and laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer were similar, when the oncological results were evaluated, it was concluded that open surgery was superior to laparoscopy.
