Abstract:
Since Dr.Mouret first introduced the laparoscopic technique into chokcystectomy,a new surgical era has arrived.With the rapid development of minimally invasive technique,it is now playing an important role in the surgical treatment of gastrointestinal cancers.Almost all kinds of gastric operations,such as wedge resection,distal gastrectomy,proximal gastrectomy and total gastrectomy with or without lymph node resection can be achieved with a laparoscope.In China,laparoscopic gastrectomy has been widely applied in many experienced medical centers and great progress has been achieved in the treatment of early and advanced gastric cancer.Laparoscopic colonic surgery has been recognized as one of the standard operations by NCCN.In Asian countries like China,Japan and Korea,laparoscopic rectal surgery following the TME principle has been widely applied.Because of the rapid development of laparoseopic gastrointestinal surgery in China,the Chinese Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgery has published standardized guidelines and established training centers for the development of young Surgcons.
