Laparoscopic surgery decreased the morbidity of colorectal surgery. The two most common surgeries for colorectal cancer are right and left colectomy.
Objective: To compare perioperative morbidity of the right versus left colectomy for cancer, as well as the quality of laparoscopic oncologic resection of both procedures. Methods: Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from patients operated at the University of São Paulo School of Medicine, between 2006 and 2016.
