Abstract

Its application for cure of colorectal malignancy, however, must be approached with caution. Port site recurrence of tumour is a particular, and increasingly recognized, drawback. This review discusses the evidence to date to support prospective randomized trials of laparoscopic colectomy for cure of carcinoma.
