title: [Application of combined laparoscopic endoscopic procedures in the treatment of colorectal neoplasms].
abstract: Combined laparoscopic endoscopic procedures (CLEP) is a technical advance in minimally invasive approaches, combining the advantages of both laparoscopy and endoscopy. CLEP expands the use of minimally invasive surgery, and improves the safety, precision and efficacy in the treatment of colorectal neoplasms.Endoscopy-assisted laparoscopic surgery (EALS), laparoscopy- assisted endoscopic surgery (LAES), and laparoscopy endoscopy cooperative surgery (LECS) are being used. The combined application of laparoscopy and colonoscopy or transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) provides a new minimally invasive approach for the treatment of colorectal benign and malignant tumors, especially suitable for the patients undergoing single laparoscopic or endoscopic surgery with greater difficulty and higher risk, or those who would have undergone open operation in the past. CLEP enhances the safety and efficacy of minimally invasive surgery, and achieves the minimal invasiveness and maximal preservation of physiological function at the same time. To a large extent, the integrated operating room and multidisciplinary team help to promote the development of these new minimally invasive procedures.
