Not all patients are suitable candidates for laparoscopic surgery. Ideal candidates generally have:
Localized tumors that are accessible through minimally invasive techniques. Good overall health and fitness levels. No extensive previous abdominal surgeries, which might complicate the laparoscopic approach. No contraindications to anesthesia.
A thorough evaluation by a specialized surgical oncologist is essential to determine the appropriateness of laparoscopic surgery for each individual patient.
