Abstract

For most patients with colorectal cancer, laparoscopic surgery is considered the gold-standard approach as it features the advantages of minimally invasive surgery and is as oncologically safe as the conventional approach. However, during the past decades,there has been major controversy about the indications and feasibility of the laparoscopic approach for patients with colorectal neoplasm. In this paper, we review the evolution of laparoscopy in the treatment of colorectal cancer.
