Article Synopsis
- The study compares laparoscopic resection (LR) and open resection (OR) methods in middle-aged patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) to determine survival outcomes.
- After analyzing data from 2009 to 2017 using propensity score matching, the results showed that LR led to significantly better 5-year overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) compared to OR.
- Key findings indicate that LR is associated with improved survival rates for Stage II and III diseases, with similar complication rates but advantages like less blood loss and shorter hospital stays.
Background: The risk factors for lymph node skip metastasis (LNSM) have not been thoroughly clarified in patients with advanced colorectal cancer (CRC). This study aimed to identify the risk factors for LNSM in CRC patients who underwent laparoscopic radical resection with D3 lymphadenectomy.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included a total of 167 consecutive patients who underwent laparoscopic radical resection with D3 lymphadenectomy for CRC between April 2005 and June 2017.
