Objective To study the feasibility and curative effect of laparoscopic vs. open radical rectectomy and colectomy for colorectal cancer. Methods Sixty-two cases who underwent laparoscopic operation (17, 2, 10, 23, 9 and 1 case underwent radical right colectomy, radical transverse colectomy, radical left colectomy, Dixon, Miles and Hartmann operation respectively) and 78 cases who underwent open operation (17, 4, 11, 27, 18 and 1 case underwent radical right colectomy, radical transverse colectomy, radical left colectomy, Dixon, Miles and Hartmann operation respectively) in our department from Aug. 2001 to Jun. 2008 were included. The clinical data of patients in two groups were compared. Results There were no severe complications and death occurred in both groups and 4 cases in laparoscopic group were converted to open operation during the procedure. The mean operation time of laparoscopic group and open group were (230.6±23.5) min and (145.5±17.6) min respectively, there was a statistical difference between them (P<0.01). The intra-operative blood loss of laparoscopic group was obviously less than that in open group 〔(135.5±22.5) ml vs. (300.6±34.5) ml, P<0.01〕. There was no statistical difference of the number of cleared lymph nodes between two groups 〔(11.8±1.5) pieces vs. (13.3±1.7) pieces, P gt;0.05〕. The length of distal incision margin of rectal anterior resection in laparoscopic group was obviously longer than that in open group 〔(3.1±0.4) cm vs. (2.6±0.3) cm, P<0.01〕. The gastrointestinal and urinary function of laparoscopic group recovered more quickly than those in open group 〔(2.3±0.7) d vs. (3.6±0.9) d for intake of liquid diet, P<0.05; (3.5±1.1) d vs. (4.7±1.2) d for intake of solid diet, P<0.05; (2.3±0.4) d vs. (4.4±1.2) d for duration of urethral catheterization, P<0.01, respectively〕. The length of hospital stay in laparoscopic group was shorter than that in open group 〔(8.5±0.7) d vs. (12.8±0.9) d, P<0.01〕. But the cost of hospitalization in laparoscopic group was higher than that in open group 〔(3.14±0.25)×104 yuan vs. (2.02±0.75)×104 yuan, P<0.05〕. There was no statistical difference of the three-year survival rate between two groups (89.5% vs. 89.1%, P gt;0.05). Conclusion Laparoscopic radical rectectomy and colectomy for colorectal cancer is feasible and safe with minimal invasiveness.
