Abstract:

Laparoscopic colorectal surgery is technically feasible; however it needs a long learning curve. Despite the obvious benefits, acceptance of the laparoscopic approach for malignant disease has been gradual. This is mainly because of fear of breaching oncological safety. Early problems during laparoscopic colectomy necessitating conversion were related to poor instrumentation; however, innovations by surgeons and industry have led the surgical field towards a scarless surgery.
