Summary

The long-term results of several large-scale prospective randomized trials that compared laparoscopic-assisted and open colectomy for colon cancer were published in the past decade. The oncologic outcomes were nearly similar in patients who underwent laparoscopic or open surgery. In Japan, the Japan Clinical Oncology Group (JCOG) conducted a randomized trial to compare oncological outcomes between patients who underwent laparoscopic or open surgery for advanced colon cancer and recto-sigmoid cancer. However, the exclusion criterion were concerning tumor site in transverse and descending colon. The reason of exclusion was that laparoscopic procedure was difficult in transverse and descending colon cancers. However, laparoscopic surgery for transverse and descending colon cancer was performed clinically. We conducted a randomized trial that compared laparoscopic surgery and conventional open surgery in in transverse and descending colon cancer. The purpose of the present study was to clarify the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic surgery on in transverse and descending colon cancer patients.
