Abstract:
About 15％-25％ of patients with locally advanced rectal cancer have lateral lymph node metastasis, lymph node metastasis is an important cause of postoperative recurrence and death. Currently, scholars hold different attitudes towards lateral pelvic lymph node dissection (LPLND), because LPLND has many problems such as difficult operation, long operation time and large amount of bleeding. Therefore, there is no optimal treatment strategy for colorectal cancer with enlarged lateral lymph nodes. This article reviews the treatment strategy of lateral lymph node metastasis, the selection factors of LPLND and the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic LPLND.
