Gadzhiev Gadzhi, Ionin V. P.

Today, surgery is the main treatment for colon cancer, with laparoscopic technologies being increasingly popular. The aim of this work was to study the advantages and disadvantages of the laparoscopic approach in the surgical treatment of colon cancer. The analysis of domestic and foreign literary sources available in scientific databases Elibrary, CyberLeninka, PubMed, Google Scholar is carried out. According to the analysis of literature sources, the advantages of the laparoscopic approach in comparison with the traditional open surgery are the lower volume of intraoperative blood loss, low trauma of the operation, a decrease in the severity of postoperative pain syndrome, a shorter bed-day, a lower incidence of postoperative complications, faster recovery of patients after surgery, lower cost and better cosmetic results. The disadvantages of laparoscopic operations include the longer duration of the operation compared to open interventions, the need for long training of personnel, suboptimal ergonomics, as well as physiological tremor and camera shake.
