ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
In abdominoperineal excision (APE), the advantages of the "down-to-up" approach are expected to be more obvious when performed as a two-team approach, including transperineal minimally invasive surgery (TpMIS). We investigated the efficacy of TpMIS with laparoscopic APE for lower rectal cancer.METHODS:
Patients who underwent laparoscopic APE with (n = 20) or without (n = 30) TpMIS between December 2013 and April 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Patient and tumor characteristics, intraoperative outcome, short-term outcome, and pathological findings were compared. Additional subgroup analyses were performed in technically challenging cases, including male patients, obese patients, and patients with tumors located at the anterior wall.RESULTS:
There was no marked difference in the patient or tumor characteristics or short-term outcomes, including morbidity and mortality between the two groups. Pathological results were comparable, and the circumferential resection margin (CRM) positive rate was 10% in both groups. TpMIS achieved a significant reduction in operative time (p = 0.02). In a subgroup analysis, the amount of blood loss was also smaller in males (p = 0.02) and patients with a high BMI (> 25) (p = 0.005) than in others.CONCLUSION:
Simultaneously performing TpMIS and laparoscopic APE is feasible owing to the favorable complication and CRM-positive rates. In terms of operative time and blood loss, TpMIS is expected to be advantageous in both easy and challenging cases.Palavras-chave
