ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of three-dimensional (3D) laparos-copic radical resection of rectal cancer with left colic artery preservation and natural orfice specimen extraction surgery (NOSES).Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 186 patients with rectal cancer who were admitted to Henan Provincial People's Hospital from December 2018 to December 2019 were colleted. There were 120 males and 66 females, aged from 30 to 81 years, with a median age of 59 years. Patients underwent 3D laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer. Observation indicators (1) surgical and postoperative situations; (2) follow-up. Follow-up using outpatient examination or telephone interview was conducted to detect survival of patients and tumor recurrence up to January 2021. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range). Count data were described as absolute numbers and percentages. Result:(1) Surgical situations 186 patients with rectal cancer under-went 3D laparoscopic radical resection and postoperative with left colic artery preservation and NOSES. The operation time was (123±24)minutes, volume of intraoperative blood loss was (30±20)mL, the numer of lymph nodes dissected was 15±7. The time to postoperative first flatus, time to semiliquid food intake, time to postoperative out-of-bed activities were (2.3±0.7)days, (4.1±1.4)days, (2.9±1.0)days, respectively. The incidence of postoperative complications was 8.06%(15/186). The duration of postoperative hospital stay of 186 patients was (6.6±1.9)days and the treatment cost was (3.8±1.1) ten thousand yuan. Results of postoperative pathological examination showed 54 cases of low differentiated adenocarcinoma, 97 cases of moderate differentiated adenocarcinoma, 19 cases of high differentiated adenocarcinoma and 16 cases of mucinous adenocarcinoma. (2) Follow-up 186 patients with rectal cancer were followed up for 13 to 24 months, with a median follow-up time of 13 months. During the follow-up, 18 patients had tumor recurrence or metastasis including 6 patients of death, 168 cases recovered well.Conclusion:3D laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer with left colic artery preservation and NOSES is safe and feasible.
