Laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery
Laparoscopic surgery means performing the operation through small incisions using a camera and fine instruments instead of one large incision. It can be used for selected colorectal cancer operations, but the decision is individual and safety comes first.
What are the possible benefits?
- Smaller wounds
- Less wound pain for many patients
- Earlier movement and return to activity in suitable cases
- A shorter hospital stay for some patients
Safe cancer treatment is the priority
Laparoscopic surgery must achieve the same cancer-treatment goals as open surgery: removing the tumour with a safe margin, removing the required lymph nodes and handling the tumour carefully. If open surgery becomes safer during the operation, the surgeon may change to an open approach.
When might laparoscopy not be suitable?
- Some very large tumours or tumours extending into nearby organs
- Severe adhesions after previous operations
- Certain emergencies or when the patient is unstable
- When the view does not allow the tumour to be removed safely by laparoscopy
Is laparoscopy suitable for you?
The answer requires reviewing the scans, tumour location, previous operations, general health and surgical assessment. The aim is not only a smaller wound, but the safest and most effective operation.
