Can surgery for colorectal cancer be done laparoscopically? If so, what are its benefits?

Yes, surgery for colorectal cancer can be performed using a laparoscopic approach, also known as laparoscopic colectomy or minimally invasive surgery.

Laparoscopic surgery involves making several small incisions in the abdomen through which specialized instruments and a laparoscope (a thin, flexible tube with a camera) are inserted to perform the procedure.
The benefits of laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer include:
1. Smaller Incisions
2. Faster Recovery
3. Reduced Blood Loss
4. Lower Risk of Infection
5. Reduced Risk of Hernias
6. Improved Visualization
