Effect of Laparoscopic-Assisted Resection vs Open Resection on Pathological Outcomes in Rectal Cancer: The ALaCaRT Randomized Clinical Trial

TL;DR: Among patients with T1-T3 rectal tumors, noninferiority of laparoscopic surgery compared with open surgery for successful resection was not established, and these findings do not provide sufficient evidence for the routine use of lapARoscopic surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Disease-free Survival and Local Recurrence After Laparoscopic-assisted Resection or Open Resection for Rectal Cancer: The Australasian Laparoscopic Cancer of the Rectum Randomized Clinical Trial.

TL;DR: Laroscopic surgery for rectal cancer did not differ significantly from open surgery in effects on 2-year recurrence or DFS and OS, so that the combination of primary and secondary study endpoints may not support laparoscopic resection of rectal cancers as a routine standard of care and further follow-up is required.
Journal ArticleDOI

Laparoscopic-assisted colorectal surgery : lessons learned from 240 consecutive patients

TL;DR: The overall morbidity and mortality in this series seem to be acceptable compared with that of open procedures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Laparoscopically assisted anterior resection for diverticular disease: follow-up of 100 consecutive patients.

TL;DR: LAR for diverticular disease has acceptable morbidity and mortality rates and a median postoperative hospital stay of only 4 days, and patients reported satisfaction regarding cosmetic and functional results.
Journal ArticleDOI

Laparoscopic colorectal surgery for cancer: intermediate to long-term outcomes

TL;DR: In selected patients a laparoscopic resection for colorectal cancer produces acceptable intermediate to long-term oncologic outcomes and a low long- term complication rate.
