Abstract
Background: The superior role of laparoscopic approach is proved worldwide in colon cancer surgery and MI technique is moving to be gold-standard in this field. Despite of the early promising results of COLORII study in rectal cancer patients across Europe, the ASCOZOG Z6051 and the AlaCaRT study has failed to demonstrate the non-inferiority of laparoscopic technique in rectal cancer. The main criticism of these studies are the relatively long observational period, the involvement of multiple centers and low number of elected patients per institutes. Our study was designed to collect our single-center experiences retrospectively in order to provide data to verify the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic rectal surgery compared to open procedure in the National Institute of Oncology, in Hungary.
