title: [Laparoscopic colon resection in carcinoma--beneficial or not?].
abstract: It was the aim of our study to investigate the role of laparoscopic colorectal cancer resection for cure. Postoperative morbidity, pain and hospital stay (n = 21) was reduced and patients' recovery accelerated compared to conventionally operated patients (n = 54). The number of resected lymph nodes and tumor distances were comparable; however, portal recurrences remain the main problem.
