Abstract
AIM: to assess the early results of hybrid laparoscopic endoscopic procedures for colon tumors. PATIENTS AND METHODS: a pilot “case-control” study included two groups of patients, who underwent surgery for endoscopic irremovable colon adenomas. Hybrid laparo-endoscopic procedures were done in the main group (n = 31), in the control group — laparoscopic resections of the colon (n = 20). RESULTS: no significant differences obtained in rate of postoperative complications: 9.7% in the main group vs 20.0% of cases in the control (p = 0.41). The postoperative hospital stay in the main group was significantly less than in control group — 5 versus 7 days (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION: the hybrid laparoscopic endoscopic surgery does not associate with the increased risk of postoperative complications. Moreover, this procedure decreases postoperative hospital stay. However, a randomized controlled trial is required.
