Laparoscopic technology has been developed in colorectal surgery in China for 30 years. The key to the success of this technology is standardized technical practice and standardized technical promotion. The incidence of rectal cancer，especially mid and lower rectal cancer，is relatively high in China，and because of the special anatomical position，it is more involved in functional preservation. Therefore，the standardization of laparoscopic surgery is more important for radical resection of rectal cancer. This article elaborates on the standardized development of laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer in China from the aspects of surgical indications，standardized promotion of technology，systematic training，and further standardization of technological innovation.
