ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the feasibility of laparoscopy assisted total mesorectal excision (TME) for rectal cancer.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>From March 2000 to November 2003,67 patients with rectal cancer received laparoscopy assisted TME,in whom 45 cases received anterior resection (AR),and 22 cases received abdominal perineal resection (APR).</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The operation was performed according to the rules of TME. The operative bleeding volume ranged from 10 to 50 ml. The operative time ranged from 2.5 to 5 hours without operative related death. Gastrointestinal decompression time ranged from 8 to 24 hours after operation. The time of intaking fluid food ranged from 24 to 48 hours after operation; the time of taking general activity ranged from 1 to 3 days after operation,and the defecating time ranged from 1 to 5 days after operation. The time of the hospital stay ranged from 7 to 10 days. All patients were followed up from 3 to 43 months except 3 patients. Two patients had local recurrence, including 1 patient died of local recurrence; 2 patients had liver metastases including 1 patient died of tumor metastasis but another was still alive. No metastasis and recurrence was found in 19 patients within follow - up time of one year.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The laparoscopy assisted TME is a feasible approach for rectal cancer if surgeons have experience in open operation of laparoscopy assisted TME and good managing skills.</p>
