    Laparoscopic resection (LR) shows superior short-term outcomes compared to open resection (OR) in colorectal cancer.

  • 2

    Concerns exist regarding the long-term oncologic safety of LR in T4 colon cancer due to technical challenges and tumor seeding risks.

  • 3

    Current guidelines generally advise against minimally invasive approaches for T4 colon cancer unless performed by experienced surgeons.

  • 4

    This study aimed to evaluate long-term oncological outcomes and identify prognostic factors in patients with T4 colon cancer undergoing LR.

  • 5

    Propensity score matching was utilized to balance baseline characteristics between LR and OR groups, minimizing selection bias.
