Journal ArticleDOI

Laparoscopic surgery versus open surgery for colon cancer: short-term outcomes of a randomised trial.

TL;DR: Laroscopic colectomy was associated with earlier recovery of bowel function, need for fewer analgesics, and with a shorter hospital stay compared with open colectology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Laparoscopic versus open surgery for rectal cancer (COLOR II): short-term outcomes of a randomised, phase 3 trial

TL;DR: In selected patients with rectal cancer treated by skilled surgeons, laparoscopic surgery resulted in similar safety, resection margins, and completeness of resection to that of open surgery, and recovery was improved after laparoscope surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Survival after laparoscopic surgery versus open surgery for colon cancer: long-term outcome of a randomised clinical trial.

TL;DR: The trial could not rule out a difference in disease-free survival at 3 years in favour of open colectomy because the upper limit of the 95% CI for the difference just exceeded the predetermined non-inferiority boundary of 7%, but, it believes, clinically acceptable, justifying the implementation of laparoscopic surgery into daily practice.
