Description
De Zoysa and two colleagues published a surgical cohort study in two thousand twenty-three comparing open and keyhole bowel cancer surgery in Sri Lanka. Keyhole surgery is spreading, but doubts persist about whether it clears enough lymph nodes and safe margins.
The team first found that under a fifth of local surgeons used the keyhole approach. They then tracked one hundred thirty-seven patients at the national hospital. Eighty-one had keyhole surgery and fifty-six open surgery. All had clear lengthwise margins. Clear side margins were slightly more common in the keyhole group. Pathology records gave node counts, and scans over three years watched for spread. The paper compares survival between the two approaches.
