Abstract
Since there is no abstract available we provide the first paragraphs
Recent data have demonstrated that quality of life (QOL) can substantially be improved without any worsening in oncological outcomes. However, for rectal cancer such rolex replica evidence does not still exist [1].
To shed light on this issue, Ng and colleagues [2] report on laparoscopic rectal cancer resection published in the Jan. 2009 issue of the Annals of Surgery. The authors evaluated the results of 579 patients underwent laparoscopic resection for rectal cancer at a single institution in Hong Kong, China over a 15-year period (1992-2007). Out of these patients, 316 had laparoscopic anterior resection and 152 patients had laparoscopic sphincter saving total mesorectal excision (TME).
