Abstract:
Laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer has the advantages of minimal impairment of gastrointestinal and pulmonary function, less immunosuppression and shorter hospital stay, which had been appoved by evidence-based medicine. With the development of concepts and techniques of minimally invasive surgery, the combination of laparoscope and endoscope in the treatment of colorectal cancer has attracted surgeons' attention, and some conventional surgery techniques of colorectal-anal anastomosis have been adopted during laparoscopic colorectal resection, which make ultra-low anastomosis feasible. The aspects mentioned above will promote the further development of laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer.
