Splenic flexure colon cancer (SFCC) is a rare disease that accounts for 2%-8% of colorectal cancers, and the extent of surgery and resection is still debatable. There have also been few studies on the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic surgery for SFCC. The purpose of this study is to evaluate outcomes and prognoses of surgery for SFCC.
