What are the consequences of laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer

First, according to the traditional way of laparotomy, the scope of colorectal cancer surgery is large (only the incision is 20 cm long), the surgical trauma is also large, the bleeding is more (often need blood transfusion), the patient's postoperative recovery is slow, the incidence of complications is high, which brings great pain to the patient, the patient's psychological trauma is also great, at the same time, the immune function suffers a heavy blow. Laparoscopic colorectal surgery has the advantages of small trauma, clear vision, light pollution and less blood loss.

Second, the systemic inflammatory reaction is light, the body function recovers quickly after operation, and the bed activity recovers early and early. The incidence of postoperative intestinal adhesion, intestinal obstruction and abdominal pain is also greatly reduced, the complications and mortality are reduced to varying degrees, the quality of life of patients is improved, and the curative effect is also guaranteed.

Third: compared with traditional laparotomy, laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer showed no difference in tumor size, surgical site, surgical method, and no difference in tumor cells exfoliated from preoperative, postoperative and surgical instruments. A large-scale, multicenter, randomized controlled study has proved that there is no difference in the number of lymph node dissections between laparoscopic surgery and traditional laparotomy, indicating that the operation is thorough, and the prognosis, such as local recurrence and overall survival rate, is better than that of conventional laparotomy.

matters needing attention

Generally speaking, laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer can relieve the pain of patients, and the postoperative infection is not serious. Can effectively remove the tumor, postoperative recurrence rate is also low, can improve the survival rate of patients. Therefore, it is suggested that patients with rectal cancer can receive surgical treatment as soon as possible.
