Laparoscopic Colorectal Cancer surgery has advanced and has become norm for early stages of colorectal cancer. Our index case in the Vijayawada was actually “Laparoscopic Abdominoperineal resection” done for cancer of the distal rectum, discharged on fourth day of hospitalisation.

However, it is colon cancer, which is the second most frequent neoplasm in both sexes, that is the main cause of surgical indication. CRC is a high-risk surgery that usually entails an average hospital stay of 12–14 days, which in most cases was not due to high morbidity but was in fact owing to a global perioperative approach responsible for this length of hospital stay.

Department Of Minimal Access Surgery - Laparoscopy, Thoracoscopy

Minimal access surgery is completed with one or more small incisions instead of a large incision. The surgeon passes a telescope with a video camera through a small incision (usually only 1/4" long) into a body cavity. The surgeon then views the surgery on a TV monitor.

Surgical instruments are then passed through other similar little incisions. The surgeon examines and operates on the area in question by viewing magnified images on a television. When the telescope is used to operate on the abdomen, the procedure is called laparoscopy. When used in the chest, the procedure is called thoracoscopy, and when used in a joint, it is called arthroscopy. Best Laparoscopy, Thoracoscopy in vijayawada
