Title:Laparoscopic colonic resection for splenic flexure cancer: our experience.
Version:3Date:31 January 2014
Reviewer: Jose Fernandez-Cebrian
Reviewer's report:
The authors show a cohort of patients over 6 years, where they collect their
clinical experience and results obtained oncologicos.
I would ask some questions:
. 1 - Is there a selection criteria based on: BMI, surgeon experience ... or all
patients undergo laparoscopic surgery?
. 2 - In the section on materials and methods discussed 20 operated patients, but
in Table 1 results include only 18. This could alter the results.
3.-It would be desirable to complete the paper with clinical and oncological data
from the open surgery for splenic flexure colon cancer (even if they were
historical data) to reliably evaluate the goodness or otherwise of laparoscopic
surgery.
Level of interest: An article of limited interest
Quality of written English: Acceptable
Statistical review: No, the manuscript does not need to be seen by a statistician.
