Core Tip: This study investigates the safety, short-term efficacy and long-term prognosis of different surgical approaches by comparing three surgical approaches for malignant tumors of the left hemicolon. The result is that various surgical procedures have different advantages, and thus individualized surgical procedures should be selected for different patients. This will serve as a reference for clinical practice.
