Abstract

  Background: Colon cancer is a common malignant disease of gastrointestinal tract. Laparoscopic surgery for colon cancer has been achieving promising, results that are equivalent to open surgery, especially in oncological aspect. While the prognostic implications of positive circumferential resection margins (CRM) have been reported for rectal cancer since 2011 in Vietnam, its significance in colon cancer has not been studied. Objectives: To evaluate circumferential resection margin and evaluates the short–term results of laparoscopic colectomy for colon cancer at the Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital and Can Tho Central General Hospital. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional prospective study was conducted with 56 colon cancer patients from June 2020 to April 2022. Results: Male/Female was 5/3. The average age of the patients was 58.32 ± 11.7 years. Body Mass Index (BMI) means: 21,35 ± 3,15 kg/m2. The mean length of the procedure was 150.4 min. The postoperative complications: 2 cases of anastomotic leakage (3.6%), anastomotic bleeding: 1.8%. Postoperative pathological results: in almost all cases were moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma (82.1%). T4 accounted for 57.1. Median number of harvested lymph nodes: 12.39. CRM positive involvement in 23.2%, factors independently associated: T stage (T4), positive nodes, CEA ≥ 5 ng/mL, tumor size (≥ 5cm) (p<0.05). Conclusions: Laparoscopic surgery for colon cancer is feasible and safe. Rate of positive CRM was 23.2%.
