colon cancer patients who were subjected to CME in our institution from August 2015 and September
2019 were prospectively analyzed. Forty patients were included in the study minimum follow up
period was two years . oncologic outcomes were evaluated. Results: The aim of present study is to
determine health related quality of life, short term oncologic outcomes after laparoscopic colectomy
for colonic cancer in our locality in Minia governate benefits including less intraoperative blood loss,
faster postoperative recovery, and shorter hospital stay. There was no significant difference in the
incidence of 30- day postoperative complications, the incidence of major complications, and the
pathological results between the two groups. The intra operative and postoperative 30-day mortality
rates in both groups were 0%. There was no significant difference in the tumor recurrence rate, 5-year

Oncologic outcomes were good with laparoscopic CME for colonic cancer and safe in selected
patients.
