Objective:To investigate the feasibility of laparoscopic operation for colorectal cancer.Methods:The clinical data of 118 patients with colorectal cancer from Sep.2008 to Jun.2010 in our hospital was retrospectively analyzed.Of the 118 patients,there were 71 cases of rectal cancer,18 cases of descending colon carcinoma,and 19 cases of ascending colon carcinoma.Seventy-one cases accepted laparoscopic rectal cancer resection,eighteen cases accepted laparoscopic left hemicolectomy and twenty-nine cases underwent laparoscopic right colectomy.Results:All 118 patients accepted laparoscopic operation.The operating time was 2-4h.The blood loss during operation was 50-100ml.There was no damage of duodenum or ureter,no death or serious complications during operative stage.Conclusions:Laparoscopic operation for colorectal cancer is safe,feasible,minimally invasive,and of rapid postoperative recovery.It can achieve the purpose of radical cure.
