Safety and Efficacy of Reduced-port Laparoscopic Surgery for Patients Of Colon and Upper Rectal Cancer

Sponsor: Sixth Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University

Summary

Colorectal cancer is the third most common malignant tumor. Radical resection is the mainstay of treatments for non-metastatic colorectal cancer. In case of traditional laparoscopic surgery, inexperienced assistants are likely to cause side injuries and interfere surgeon due to limited operating space. Reduced-port laparoscopic surgery has only 3 ports for surgeon and observer, and the surgeon completes the surgery independently, which increases the difficulty of the operation. However, reduced-port laparoscopy has some potential advantages and applications. Reduced-port laparoscopic surgery avoids the prolongation of the operation time and parainjury caused by inexperienced assistant. Reduced-port laparoscopy reduces some surgical incisions, resulting in less pain and faster recovery. Reduced-port laparoscopy also reduces the consumables, human resources and medical expenses. This study aims to evaluate the curative effect and safety of reduced-port laparoscopic surgery versus conventional laparoscopic surgery for resectable colorectal cancer.
