Open Colectomies vs. Laparoscopic Colectomies

Diseases of the Colon & Rectum, 2009
To the Editor-I read with interest the article by Moloo et al.1 and appreciate the attempt by the authors to demonstrate that the results of randomized clinical trials comparing open colectomies (OC) with laparoscopic colectomies (LC) can be generalized to real-world practice settings.

Open Left Colectomy

2014
Surgical resection remains the foundation for curative treatment of colon cancer. A proper oncologic resection comprises: (1) a complete en bloc removal of the tumor along with any extracolonic involvement, (2) clear proximal, distal, and radial margins, and (3) an adequate clearance of loco-regional lymph nodes.

Hand-Assisted Laparoscopic Colectomy Compared with Open Colectomy in a Nontertiary Care Setting

Clinical Colorectal Cancer, 2007
Laparoscopic colectomy allows oncologic resection equivalent to open colectomy while reducing postoperative morbidity, at the cost of longer operating time. Hand-assisted laparoscopy might yield the benefits of laparoscopy while reducing operating time.We compared the intraoperative and postoperative experience of patients undergoing hand-assisted ...

Hand-assisted laparoscopic colectomy vs open colectomy: a prospective randomized study

Surgical Endoscopy, 2004
We compared the perioperative parameters and outcomes achieved with hand-assisted laparoscopic colectomy (HALC) vs open colectomy (OC) for the management of benign and malignant colorectal disease, including cancer patients treated with curative intent.Sixty eligible patients were randomized to either HALC (n = 30) or OC (n = 30) treatment groups.

Interleukin-6 response to laparoscopic and open colectomy

Diseases of the Colon & Rectum, 1994
It has been postulated that cortisol and interleukin-6 play a significant role in the modulation of the early inflammatory response following surgical intervention. There are no available data on the normal responses of these mediators following major laparoscopic procedures.

Wound complications of laparoscopic vs open colectomy

Surgical Endoscopy, 2002
This study was conducted to determine if laparoscopic colon surgery has changed the incidence of wound complications after colon resection.Eighty-three patients were randomized to undergo either laparoscopic (LCR) or open colon resection (OCR) for cancer at our institution as part of a multicenter trial.

Is laparoscopic subtotal colectomy better than open subtotal colectomy in children?

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 2002
The role of laparoscopic colectomy is not defined clearly. The aim of this study was to compare clinical outcomes of laparoscopic versus open subtotal colectomy in children with inflammatory bowel disease.Eight consecutive patients undergoing laparoscopic subtotal colectomy were compared with 10 consecutive patients undergoing open subtotal colectomy ...

Open colectomy versus laparoscopic colectomy: are there differences?

The American surgeon, 1993
Laparoscopic colectomy has been increasingly reported as an option for the treatment of colonic pathology. However, there is very little information regarding perioperative morbidity and the cost effectiveness of this technique. The purpose of this study is to review our first year of experience with laparoscopic colon resection.

Open Right Colectomy

2014
The open surgical approach to colon cancer surgery is still necessary in some cases. The results of open surgery are time-tested to be both effective and safe and may lag behind minimally invasive approaches with respect to only early postoperative recovery outcomes.

Introduction of Alvimopan into an Enhanced Recovery Protocol for Colectomy Offers Benefit in Open But Not Laparoscopic Colectomy

Journal of Laparoendoscopic & Advanced Surgical Techniques, 2011
Alvimopan coupled with an enhanced recovery protocol (ERP) has been shown to reduce length of stay (LOS) after open colectomy, but its role after laparoscopy remains unknown. This study evaluated alvimopan with an established ERP for laparoscopic (LAP), hand-assisted laparoscopic (HAL), and open colectomy.Consecutive patients who underwent elective ...
