A comparative study of three-dimensional laparoscopic and two-dimensional laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer / 中华普通外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the intraoperative advantage and short-term outcomes of three-dimensional laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer.Methods The clinical data of patients who underwent radical resection for rectal cancer at Department of Colorectal Surgery,China-Japan Union Hospital of Jilin University from November 2013 to February 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.There were 20 patients undergoing three-dimensional laparoscopic surgery and 26 patients undergoing two-dimensional laparoscopic surgery.The following parameters were compared between the two groupsintraoperative factors,oncologic outcomes,and short-term surgical outcomes.Data were analyzed by SPSS 17.0 software packet,using t and x2 inspection.Results All the operations were perfomed successfully without conversion.Compared with the two-dimensional laparoscopic surgery group,the three-dimensional laparoscopic surgery group had shorter operative time [(97.2 ± 19.3) vs.(114.1 ± 22.6) min,t =2.680,P =0.010],less intraoperative blood loss [(13.5 ± 6.7) vs.(20.1 ± 12.7) ml,t =2.288,P =0.028],less stapler docking times [(1.4 ± 0.6) vs.(2.3 ± 0.8) number of times,t =4.962,P =0.000],earlier removal of urethral catheter [(2.2± 0.6) vs.(2.7 ± 0.8) d,t =2.401,P =0.021].There were no significant differences in the postoperative ventilation time,postoperative hospital stay,number of lymph node dissection (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Three-dimensional laparoscopic compared with two-dimensional laparoscopic radical resection for rectal cancer has many advantages,such as shorter operative time,less intraopretive blood loss,high accuracy operation and earlier postoperative urine voiding.
