Methods: From 2016 to 2017, all consecutive patients who underwent elective colorectal surgery for malignancy were enrolled. Based on surgery, patients were grouped as follows: group A, right hemicolectomy; group B, left hemicolectomy; group C, sigmoidectomy; and group D, anterior resection of the rectum. Results: In total, 171 patients were included, of which 61 were in group A (45 3D and 16 2D), 18 in group B (15 3D and 3 2D), 44 in group C (30 3D and 14 2D) and 48 in group D (36 3D and 12 2D). The surgeon\u2019s discomfort did not occur due to the 3D vision. Complication rate and mean length of hospital stay (LOS) were lower in the 3D group in comparison to 2D, even if without statistically significant differences, in group B (6.6% versus 66.6% and LOS 6.1 \u00b1 5.2 versus 23 \u00b1 21 days), C (6.7% versus 21.4% and LOS 5.9 \u00b1 2.5 versus 9 \u00b1 8.4 days) and D (27.8% versus 50% and LOS 11.9 \u00b1 16 versus 13 \u00b1 11.8 days), respectively. Conclusions: Despite the lack of statistically significant differences between 2D and 3D laparoscopy, this study reports promising trends in favor of 3D laparoscopy, particularly for complex procedures such as anterior resection. Further randomized prospective studies with larger sample sizes and longer follow-up are necessary to conclusively determine the clinical impact of 3D laparoscopy in colorectal surgery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm14134437","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,23]],"date-time":"2025-06-23T07:42:34Z","timestamp":1750664554000},"page":"4437","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Can 3D Imaging Improve Results in Colorectal Cancer Laparoscopic Surgery?"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1072-0522","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juan","family":"Cintas-Catena","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General and Digestive Surgery, University Hospital Virgen Macarena, University of Sevilla, 41009 Sevilla, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0182-8761","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrea","family":"Balla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General and Digestive Surgery, University Hospital Virgen Macarena, University of Sevilla, 41009 Sevilla, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0837-8986","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Javier","family":"Valdes-Hernandez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General and Digestive Surgery, University Hospital Virgen Macarena, University of Sevilla, 41009 Sevilla, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2784-1232","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luis Crist\u00f3bal","family":"Capit\u00e1n-Morales","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General and Digestive Surgery, University Hospital Virgen Macarena, University of Sevilla, 41009 Sevilla, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2833-0717","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Salvador","family":"Morales-Conde","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General and Digestive Surgery, University Hospital Virgen Macarena, University of Sevilla, 41009 Sevilla, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9467-1934","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juan Carlos","family":"G\u00f3mez-Rosado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General and Digestive Surgery, University Hospital Virgen Macarena, University of Sevilla, 41009 Sevilla, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1490","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(13)61649-9","article-title":"Colorectal cancer","volume":"383","author":"Brenner","year":"2014","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"321","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.287.3.321","article-title":"Short-term quality-of-life outcomes following laparoscopic-assisted colectomy vs open colectomy for colon cancer: A randomized trial","volume":"287","author":"Weeks","year":"2002","journal-title":"JAMA"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"655","DOI":"10.1097\/SLA.0b013e318155a762","article-title":"Laparoscopic colectomy for cancer is not inferior to open surgery based on 5-year data from the COST Study Group trial","volume":"246","author":"Fleshman","year":"2007","journal-title":"Ann.
