ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the efficacy between cylindrical abdominoperineal resection(CAPR)by laparoscopy and traditional abdominoperineal resection(APR). Methods A retrospectively analysis was done in the data of patients with low rectal cancer who underwent APR in our department from January 2010 to September 2015. The patients were divided into two groups,including cylindrical abdominoperineal resection by laparoscopy and traditional abdominoperineal resection. The operation time,intraoperative bleeding,the time of intestinal exhaust as well as the postoperative complications of the two groups were compared. Results There were no statistical differences in the intraoperative bleeding,operation time,the time of intestinal exhaust,postoperative intestinal obstruction and pulmonary infection between the two groups(P > 0.05). However,the differences in the rates of perineal incision infection and tumor intestinal perforation between the two groups were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion CAPR by laparoscopy is safer,more reliable than traditional APR,which can effectively reduce the rates of postoperative incision infection and tumor intestinal perforation of patients.
ABSTRACT
Introducción: la amputación abdominoperineal (AAP) fue durante muchas años el tratamiento de elección para los tumores de recto bajo y especialmente aquellos con compromiso del aparato esfinteriano. Algunas modificaciones a la técnica original, sugieren el aumento de la radicalidad a través de una resección cilíndrica (amputación abdominoperineal extraelevador). Esta estrategia permite ampliar los márgenes de resección circunferencial, con menor posibilidad de perforación o apertura tumoral, permitiendo así una menor recidiva local y mejores resultados oncológicos. El siguiente trabajo tiene por objetivo exponer los aspectos técnicos más relevantes y los resultados de la experiencia inicial con esta variante técnica. Diseño: Serie de casos. Pacientes y métodos: se analizaron todos los pacientes sometidos a una amputación abdominoperineal extraelevador (AAPE) intervenidos en el Sanatorio Güemes, en el período comprendido desde mayo 2011 hasta septiembre del 2013. Fueron analizadas variables: demográficas, índice ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologist), índice de masa corporal (IMC), distancia del tumoral margen anal, tipo de cirugía, estadía hospitalaria y la morbilidad perioperatoria. Resultados: se incluyeron 5 pacientes, 4 de ellos pertenecían al sexo masculino. La media de edad fue de 61 años mientras que para el IMC fue de 29,8. Solamente en 1 paciente se realizó el abordaje laparoscópico. El tiempo operatorio medio fue de 266 minutos. La estadía hospitalaria en promedio fue de 8,6 días. Se registraron las siguientes complicaciones: dehiscencia parcial de colgajo cutáneo en 2 pacientes, fistula uretral (1 paciente) y eventración de la incisión mediana (1 paciente). El seguimiento medio de la serie fue de1 5 (8-24) meses. No hubo mortalidad en la serie. Un paciente presento una recidiva local...
Background: abdominoperineal resection (APR) has been, for many years, the treatment of choice for low rectal tumors, or those with sphincter involvement. In recent years, technical modifications (extralevator abdominoperineal resection) were performed, increasing the radicality of the original surgery. Thus oncologic outcomes were improved, with a decrease in the values of tumor perforation, circumferential resection margins involvement and a consequent lower local recurrence rates. This paper attempts to show the initial experience in this type of procedure. Design: Case series. Patients and methods: all patients who underwent extralevator abdominoperineal resection (EAPR) in the Sanatorio Güemes in the period from May 2011 to September 2013 were included. The variables analyzed were: demographic, ASA index (American Society of Anesthesiologist), body mass index (BMI), tumor distance from the anal verge, type of surgery, hospital stay, and intraoperative and postoperative complications. Results: five extralevator abdominoperineal resection were performed in 4 males. The mean age was 61 years and the mean BMI was 29.8. Only 1 laparoscopic approach was performed. The mean operative time was 266 min. The hospital stay was 8.6 days. The postoperative complications were: partial flap dehiscence (2 patients), urethral fistula (1 patient) and median incision hernia (1 patient). The median follow-up was 15 (8-24) months. Only one patient had a local recurrence...

Objective:To introduce the method of cylindrical abdominoperineal resection(APR)for low rectal cancer.Methods:Cylindrical APR was performed for 6 patients with advanced ultralow rectal cancer according to standard protocol in Stockholm from February to May in 2009.The procedure involved careful mobilization of the mesorectum as low as the origins of the levator muscle.After stoma formation,the abdomen was closed,the patient was rotated into the prone position,and an extended perineal dissection was performed.This included the sphinctercomplex and followed the inferior surface of the levators to a point laterally where they originated on the pelvic sidewall.This point should be just inferior to the level where the abdominal procedure was terminated.Results:The cylindrical technique removed more tissue in the distal rectum.There was no bowel perforation,perineal wounds were uneventfully.One patient developed perineal seroma.One patient developed peritoneocele hernia of pelvic floor.Conclusion:Cylin-drical APR performed in the prone position for low rectal cancer removes more tissue around the tumor that leads to a reduction in CRM involvement and intraoperative perforations,which should reduce local disease recurrence.
