Short-term outcomes of laparoscopic total mesorectal excision following neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy
Surgical Endoscopy, 10/26/09
Denoya P et al. – Laparoscopic TME for mid and lower rectal cancer is feasible and safe. Patients benefit from the short–term advantages of laparoscopy, including shorter length of hospital stay, time to tolerating a regular diet, and time to first bowel movement or stoma function. Although there were no short–term differences in oncologic parameters, the long–term oncologic outcome requires further investigation.
