We performed an electronic literature search of Medline, and EMBASE, for studies involving the extended lymphadenectomy in case of colorectal cancer surgical treatment published up to August, 2017. English language limits in our search strategy MeSH terms were used as following, using a combination of subject headings incorporating “colorectal cancer,” “extended lymph,” lymphadenectomy,” “surgical intervention”. There are several studies concerns that restrict the analysis of research studies seeking to assess the fringe benefit that prolonged lymphadenectomy offers over that provided by thorough conventional surgical treatment for colon cancer cells. The importance of intestines cancer lymph node hosting could not be over-emphasized. We have reviewed much of the disputes connected with this difficult location as well as offered advice regarding the logical application of added methods. In addition, while it could be really hoped that SLN mapping may help in conquering this trouble, this strategy elevates a lot more questions compared to it answers because of numerous reported technological protocols that limit a crucial assessment of this strategy.

Keywords: SLN, colorectal cancer, lymphadenectomy.
