ObjectiveTo investigate the systemic stress responses after laparoscopic resection in colorectal cancer patients.MethodsSixty patients were randomized into the laparoscopic resection group (30 cases) and open resection group (30 cases) from October 2001 to September 2002 in our hospital.Analgesic dosages, recovery time of intestinal peristalsis, postoperative temperatures, C reactive protein(CRP), IL6 and white blood cell (WBC) counts were recorded after operation. ResultsThe changes of postoperative temperatures and WBC counts showed no significant difference between two groups.But in the laparoscopic resection group, the recovery time of intestinal peristalsis, postoperative analgesic dosages, CRP and IL6 significantly decreased (P<0.01,P<0.05).ConclusionCompared with traditional open resection, laparoscopic resection of colorectal cancer can diminish the systemic stress responses and decrease the injury to patients.
