Abstract

Although laparoscopic colectomy is the standard of care for colorectal carcinoma, the skill sets to complete colectomy laparoscopically is not universally available in developing nations such as those in the Caribbean.

This may be, in select cases, a method to increase the availability of laparoscopic colorectal operations in developing countries.
