Laparoscopic para‐aortic lymphadenectomy for colorectal cancer with clinically suspected lymph node metastasis

Abstract

Laparoscopic para-aortic lymphadenectomy for advanced colorectal cancer with clinically suspected PALN is technically feasible and may be beneficial in selected patients. It is necessary to investigate the feasibility of this procedure in a future case series, and information regarding true oncologic outcome will require long-term follow-up.
