Background/aim: Three-dimensional (3D) laparoscopy is being steadily adopted instead of two-dimensional (2D) for various procedures. Our aim was to compare the outcomes between 2D and 3D laparoscopic procedures for colorectal cancer in order to ascertain the safety, efficacy and potential advantages of 3D imaging systems.
Materials And Methods: A systematic database search was conducted in March 2019.
