Abstract

Laparoscopic colorectal surgery was less invasive for patients although it was difficult to perform complete resection of colon combined with regional lymph node. The skillful manner of the laparoscopic surgery was required for the surgical team. The laparoscopic equipments, in order to perform curative dissection of mesenterium and intermediate lymph node, such as Ultrasonic-aspiration surgical unit (USU) or Harmonic scalpel laparoscopic coagulation shears (LCS), were useful for safer dissection of D2 regional lymph node. Meticulous manner of grasping forceps and special dissectors was made sufficient lymph node dissection. The reconstruction of extracorporeal anastomotic technique by hand or valtrac (biofragmentable anastomosis ring) were safer manner for anastomosis after resection of the right side colon. Reconstruction by double stapling technique of linear stapler and circular stapler was admired for anastomosis for left side colonic and rectal surgery. We had safely performed locar resection in 3, partial resection with Do dissection in 2, with D1 dissection in 14, with D2 dissection in 21 and right and left hemicolectomy in 1 each.
