ABSTRACT
In recent years, bridge to surgery(BTS), in which surgery is performed after colorectal stenting for obstructive colorectal cancer, has gradually become popular, and laparoscopic surgery is also a treatment option. From January 2020 to December 2022, we retrospectively evaluated clinicopathological factors in 18 colorectal cancer cases who underwent radical resection after colorectal stenting. We found no difference in patient background, histopathological factors, primary anastomosis rate, stoma creation rate, operative time, postoperative complication rate and length of hospital stay between the laparoscopic surgery(L)and open surgery(O)groups. Blood loss was significantly lower in group L. In T4 patients, laparoscopic surgery after colorectal stenting can be safely performed, but conversion to open surgery may be necessary. Surgery after colorectal stenting should be performed based on preoperative accurate imaging and sufficient experience.

A 72-year-old man was presented with anemia and diagnosed with sigmoid colon cancer by colonoscopy. CT showed a soft tissue density around the retroperitoneum, leading to the diagnosis of retroperitoneal fibrosis. Stenosis of left ureter, inferior mesenteric artery, and left colic artery due to the soft tissues were detected. Sigmoidectomy and retroperitoneal biopsy were performed, and colorectal anastomosis was completed after confirming the intestinal blood flow by ICG fluorescence angiography. In retroperitoneal fibrosis, identifying blood vessels intraoperatively can be difficult. ICG fluorescence angiography is useful for reliable anastomosis in colorectal cancer surgery with retroperitoneal fibrosis.
