Abstract

Total mesorectal excision(TME) is widely adopted wordwide, while discrepancies exist between surgical, embryological and anatomical descriptions of complete mesocolic excision(CME). Technically, it is feasible to do CME laparoscopically, which also could achieve satisfactory pathological results. Although further long-term outcomes of laparoscopic CME procedure should be concerned, the concept of complete mesenteric(both colon and rectum) excision is positive to the standardization and high quality of laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer. It may say that we are in the era of complete mesentery excision.
