Laparoscopic 3-D vision is as equally effective as 2-D vision in LRH with intracorporeal anastomosis, with a similar proportion of associated procedures and number of lymph nodes retrieved in the same operative time. Further prospective larger randomized studies are necessary to verify if LRH with 3-D video can reduce postoperative complications, compared to 2-D video.
