Laparoscopic Right Hemicolectomy for Colon Diseases: Clinical Studies on Intracorporeal and Extracorporeal Anastomosis in 423 Consecutive Cases
INTRODUCTION:Totally laparoscopic or laparoscopic-assisted (LA) right hemicolectomies (RHC) have been reported as acceptable procedures for both benign and malignant colon diseases. Laparoscopic RHC either with a totally intracorporeal or extracorporeal anastomosis has been performed for the treatment of ascending colon diseases including cancer, polyps, chronic inflammatory bowel diseases, AVM. However, research has not been conducted… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Surgery for advanced rectal cancer
Background: The laparoscopic approach is accepted as an alternative to open surgery for colon cancer. However, it has not been determined whether laparoscopy can be used in the setting of rectal cancer. Moreover laparoscopic surgery for advanced rectal cancer demands technical experience and needs longer learning time. This study evaluated the peri-operative clinical outcomes and… Continue Reading
