Laparoscopic surgical treatment for colorectal cancer has undergone groundbreaking advancements and development. From the proposition and updating of minimally invasive theories to the standardization and refinement of laparoscopic surgical techniques, coupled with advancements in equipment and the integration of new technologies such as artificial intelligence and remote surgery, laparoscopic surgical treatment for colorectal cancer has become the primary modality for treating this disease. Currently, laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery has been widely adopted across various levels of hospitals in China, profoundly impacting the surgical treatment of colorectal cancer. Simultaneously, we must align with the rapidly evolving shift towards comprehensive treatment modalities, adapt to multidisciplinary diagnostic and therapeutic systems, and continue to provide patients with safer and more efficient surgical treatment plans guided by high-quality clinical research results.
