TLDR
There was no survival difference between open and laparoscopic CME colonic resections, and the present OS improved from a previous OS from 2000, while the surgical approach was not a significant predictor for any of the survival parameters.
Abstract
Background: Complete mesocolic excision (CME) and a high (apical) vascular tie may improve oncologic outcome after surgery for colon cancer. Our primary aim was t

Short‐term outcomes after complete mesocolic excision compared with ‘conventional’ colonic cancer surgery

TL;DR: Complete mesocolic excision seems to be associated with improved oncological outcomes compared with ‘conventional’ surgery, but there is a potential for higher morbidity.

Surgery along the embryological planes for colon cancer: a systematic review of complete mesocolic excision

TL;DR: There is strong evidence that CME offers a longer central pedicle that contains more lymph nodes than conventional surgery for colon cancer, and there is limited evidence that colectomy in terms of CME leads to improved long-term oncological outcomes.

Open compared with laparoscopic complete mesocolic excision with central lymphadenectomy for colon cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

TL;DR: The aim of this study was to compare the safety and efficacy of open and laparoscopic approaches for ELTs in colon cancer.

TL;DR: LAC is more effective than OC for treatment of colon cancer in terms of morbidity, hospital stay, tumour recurrence, and cancer-related survival.

Randomized trial of laparoscopic-assisted resection of colorectal carcinoma: 3-year results of the UK MRC CLASICC Trial Group.

TL;DR: Long-term outcomes for patients with rectal cancer were similar in those undergoing abdominoperineal resection and AR, and support the continued use of laparoscopic surgery in these patients.

TL;DR: This technique is focused on an intact package of the tumour and its main lymphatic drainage and this technique is nowadays accepted worldwide for optimal rectal cancer surgery.

Guidelines 2000 for Colon and Rectal Cancer Surgery

TL;DR: A panel of experts reviewed current literature on oncologic resection techniques for level of evidence and grade of recommendation to draft guidelines that provide uniform definitions, principles, and practices and reports surgical guidelines and definitions based on the best available evidence.

Survival after laparoscopic surgery versus open surgery for colon cancer: long-term outcome of a randomised clinical trial.

TL;DR: The trial could not rule out a difference in disease-free survival at 3 years in favour of open colectomy because the upper limit of the 95% CI for the difference just exceeded the predetermined non-inferiority boundary of 7%, but, it believes, clinically acceptable, justifying the implementation of laparoscopic surgery into daily practice.
