Résumé
Objective To evaluate the value of circular anastomotic stapler for sigmoid colostomy in laparoscopy abdominoperi-neal resection .Methods 62 patients of low colorectal cancer treated in our hospital from October 2010 to February 2013 was retro-spectively analyzed .All the patients were treated by laparoscopy abdominoperineal resection ,34 patients received sigmoid colostomy with circular anastomotic stapler(group A) ,and the other 28 patients received sigmoid colostomy with conventional suturing tech-niques(group B) .The medical records including operation time ,the time of return of bowl function ,postoperative hospital stay and postoperative complication rate were analysed statistically .Results All patients received the operations successfully .No conversion to open procedure and no operative death occured in two groups .The result of statistical analysis showed that in group A ,the opera-tion time ,the time of return of bowl function ,postoperative hospital stay time were shorter than group B ,and the rate of edema of sigmoid in group A were lower than group B(P<0 .05) .Conclusion The application of circular anastomotic stapler for sigmoid co-lostomy in LAPR is a safe ,effective and minimally invasive technique ,which can shorten operation time ,postoperative hospital stay and reduce the related complications of colostomy .
