Core Tip
Core tip: This is a retrospective case-control study between laparoscopic surgery and open surgery in rectal cancer. There are 916 clinical cases, collecting from January 2006 to December 2013 in our hospital, which covered 492 cases in laparascopic group and 424 cases in open group. We compared the general information, surgery performance, pathologic data, postoperative recovery and complication as well as the long-term survival of the patients. And than we concluded that laparoscopy can produce better immediate outcomes in rectal cancers. And the long-term survival of laparoscopy was similar to the open operation.
