Objective  To explore the safety, effectiveness, operation mode and clinical value of the laparoscopic colorectal resection.
Methods  The clinical data and experiences of laparoscopic resection for 18 cases with colorectal neoplasm from Jun. 2007 to Mar. 2008 were studied retrospectively.
Results  Among 18 cases, there were 5 cases of rectal cancer, 6 cases of sigmoid colon carcinoma, 2 cases of sigmoid colonic polyp, 2 cases of descending colon carcinoma, 2 cases of ascending colon carcinoma and 1 case of ascending colonic lipoma. Fifteen cases of laparoscopic colorectal resection were performed successfully, including Dixon procedure 4 cases, Miles operation 1 case, radical resection of sigmoid colon 5 cases, palliative resection of sigmoid colon 2 cases, left hemicolectomy 2 cases and right hemicolectomy 1 case. Three cases converted to laparotomy due to adiposity or advanced status of local disease. Average intraoperative blood loss was 110 ml. The average number of lymph nodes dissected was 13.5. It took about 40 hours to restore intestinal function. The average time of hospitalization was 9 days. No one died during operation and no complications such as anastomotic leakage and postoperative hemorrhage occurred.
Conclusion  Laparoscopic resection for colorectal neoplasms possesses less trauma and rapid postoperative recovery. Laparoscopic colorectal surgery is safe and effective with skill and indication.
