Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effects of converting laparoscopic surgery to open surgery during rectal cancer resection on both short-term and long-term outcomes.
- Out of 84 patients, 21.4% required conversion to open surgery, resulting in increased intraoperative blood loss, but early clinical results were comparable between the two groups.
- Long-term follow-up showed similar rates of recurrence and survival outcomes, suggesting that conversion to open surgery does not significantly harm patient prognosis.
