Authors' objectives:
To assess the available evidence on the efficacy, safety and coverage related aspects regarding the use of laparoscopic surgery in patients with colorectal cancer.
Authors' recommendations:
The evidence found is of good quality and comes from the meta-analysis and the RCTs. Results for mortality and short and long-term tumor recurrence suggest an oncological equivalence of LS and OS. LS was associated to less peri-operative complications, shorter hospital stay and recovery period. All the clinical practice guidelines and technology assessments analyzed consider the use of LS as an equivalent alternative to OS for the treatment of CRC. Its use will depend on the patient´s profile (cancer stage, comorbidities and preferences), availability of surgeons with experience in the technique and its cost.
