Abstract:
In comparison with open surgery,laparoscopic surgery is more beneficial for patients with gastrointestinal neoplasms in serveral aspects,including better preservation of gastrointestinal and pulmonary function,less immunosuppression,shorter hospital stay and improved postoperative recovery.However,this minimally invasive surgery is more technically complex and hasn't got enough consent by patients.To improve the long-term outcomes,the laparoscopic techniques need to be standardized and carried out by skilled surgeons.Based on the reviewed advancement in this field and our own experience,we believe that laparoscopic surgery would be increasingly adopted as the gold standard for gastrointestinal neoplasms when its efficacy has been proved by adequate evidence from randomized controlled trials in the near future.
