Core Tip	Laparoscopy has been widely used in the treatment of colorectal cancer and has achieved a good radical effect in oncology. However, current clinical association guidelines do not recommend lapar­oscopic surgery for T4 colorectal cancer. This study retrospectively collected the data of pathological T4 (pT4) colorectal cancer patients at Guangdong General Hospital from 2006 to 2015, aiming to compare outcomes of laparoscopic vs open surgery. The conclusion is that laparoscopy is safely used in the treatment of pT4 colorectal cancer while offering advantages of faster recovery. Laparoscopy is able to achieve good oncologic outcomes similar to those of open surgery.
