Introducing Anatomically Correct CT-Guided Laparoscopic Right Colectomy with D3 Anterior Posterior Extended Mesenterectomy: Initial Experience and Technical Pitfalls.

Background: Laparoscopic D3 anterior posterior extended mesenterectomy (D3APEM) in right colectomy has received increased attention. The aim of this study is to prove feasibility, systemize technical accomplishment, and provide short-term outcomes data.

Methods: From July 2013 to February 2017, 18 patients with adenocarcinoma in the right colon underwent right colectomy with laparoscopic D3APEM, including lymph nodes anterior and posterior to the superior mesenteric vessels.

In Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES), the procedures are performed through natural body openings, such as the mouth, vagina, urtehra and anus. By avoiding skin incisions, it is possible to prevent scars, hernias and wound infections. NOTES in humans should at this point in time only be performed within approved clinical studies.

Long-term outcome of laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer: a cochrane systematic review of randomised controlled trials.

Background: The aim of this systematic review is to evaluate long-term outcome of laparoscopically assisted versus open surgery for non-metastasised colorectal cancer.

Methods: Cochrane library, EMBASE, Pub med and CancerLit were searched for published and unpublished randomised controlled trials. RevMan 4.

[Laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer].

Background: It has been possible to perform colorectal operations for cancer with a laparoscopic approach for several years, but most operations are still performed by laparotomy. A systematic overview of randomized studies that compare the two techniques is presented.

Material And Methods: Pubmed and Embase were systematically searched for relevant randomized clinical trials.
