Laparoscopic Colorectal Cancer Surgery

Introduction

Laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery is a minimally invasive procedure performed to treat colorectal cancer. It involves making small incisions in the abdomen through which a laparoscope and specialized instruments are inserted. The laparoscope provides a magnified view of the internal organs, allowing the surgeon to perform precise dissection and removal of the cancerous tissue.

Laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed to treat colorectal cancer. In this approach, small incisions are made in the abdomen through which specialized instruments and a laparoscope (a thin, lighted tube with a camera) are inserted.

Procedure

Laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery is performed under general anesthesia. During the procedure, the surgeon makes several small incisions in the abdomen and inserts a laparoscope, a thin tube with a camera and light, to visualize the inside of the abdomen. Specialized instruments are then used to remove the cancerous tumor and any affected surrounding tissue. The incisions are closed with sutures or surgical staples.
