Abstract

Laparoscopic surgery is excellent for treating benign disease of the colon and rectum, and for palliative operations for malignancy. Its application for cure of colorectal malignancy, however, must be approached with caution. Port site recurrence of tumour is a particular, and increasingly recognized, drawback. This review discusses the evidence to date to support prospective randomized trials of laparoscopic colectomy for cure of carcinoma.
