Background: Laparoscopic rectal resections are usually performed in rectal carcinomas. The present study was conducted to assess cases of laparoscopic rectal resections. Materials & Methods: 62 cases of prostate cancer of both genders were divided into 2 groups of 28 each. Group I were treated laparoscopically and group II with open operation. Surgery was performed 6 to 8 weeks after CRT. Laparoscopic surgery was performed. Results: Out of 62 patients, males were 34 and females were 28. Tumor size <8 cm was present in 47 and >8 cm in 15, CRT was done in 42 and not performed in 20 cases, anterior resection was performed in 38 and APR in 24 cases, 52 cases were well differentiated and 10 were other. Tb was 1-2 in 14, 3-4 in 48, Nc was 0 in 50 and + in 12 cases. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: Laparoscopic rectal resections are usually performed in patients with rectal carcinomas. In most of the patients tumor size was less than 8 cm.
