In the current age of minimally invasive surgery, laparoscopic surgery for colon cancer has been established as oncologically equivalent to conventional open surgery. The advantages of laparoscopic surgery have translated into smaller incisions and shorter recovery. However, the narrow confines of the bony pelvis and angling limits in current stapling technology, along with the standard practice of autonomic nerve-sparing total mesorectal excision, have made laparoscopic surgery in the setting of rectal cancer more challenging. The available literature focusing on laparoscopic resection for rectal cancer has been predominantly retrospective in nature, with a limited number of prospective studies.
