Colectomie par laparoscopie ou par laparotomie pour tumeur colique droite en occlusion : revue systématique de la littérature et méta-analyse

The better outcomes described in this study achieved with laparoscopy, must be interpreted with caution because of the small number of patients involved, the selection and publication bias and the low level of evidence of the analyzed trials. Indeed, the advantages of a minimally invasive approach, which have been demonstrated by the present meta-analysis, should encourage the use of laparoscopy also in emergency setting.
