  ABSTRACT
At the beginning, the laparoscopy of the colon was performed as the hand- assistant laparoscopic procedure. The first entirely laparoscopic resection of the rectosigmoid was performed on 22. 02. 2001. Laparoscopic resection of the colon was done in case of 22 patients; conversion was done and in 5 patients. One right and one left laparoscopic hemicolectomy was performed, and the resection of the rectosigmoid in other cases. Anastomotic dehiscence appeared in one case, which was resolved with the conventional medical treatment. One patient died in the early postoperative period. With the laparoscopic resection of the colon it is possible to attain all the oncology tenets, and the early results are very good.
