Abstract

Background: Surgical resection is the principal treatment for colorectal cancer, but it carries significant morbidity and mortality.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out from January 2017 to August 2018, evaluating fifty-nine patients with colorectal adenocarcinoma against defined inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Results: Most complications occurred in the male group (33.9%) and in the >50 years age group. Forty-four percent of cases were in pathological stage pT2N0MX (Stage I). The most common complication (56%) was wound infection, and postoperative complications were more frequent in rectal cancer patients than in colonic cancer cases. Patients operated on by laparoscopy alone had less preoperative blood loss, shorter postoperative hospital stays, and lower complication rates (p<0.05).

Conclusion: The laparoscopic approach favorably influences postoperative outcomes following colorectal cancer surgery. Measures should be taken to reduce postoperative wound infection.
