Quintana JM, et al. - Researchers performed a comparison of the effectiveness of laparoscopic with that of open surgery up to 2 years after intervention in patients with colon cancer. They analyzed a prospective cohort of patients with colon cancer who underwent surgery (laparoscopic or open surgery) between June 2010 and December 2012, at 22 hospitals and noted that in most outcomes, both surgical approaches provide similar results up to 2 years after intervention. However, the rates of some complications and readmission, mainly up to 30 days, were higher in open surgery.
