Excerpt

Liakakos et al. [1] concluded from a retrospective series of 1,057 selected patients studied by Miyajima et al. [2] that laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer is safe. Although cohort studies have shown safety, the most important outcomes such as disease-free survival and the recurrence rate need to be demonstrated in prospective randomized controlled trials before laparoscopic surgery is accepted as the standard approach. …
