Dis Colon Rectum
September 2023
Article Synopsis
- Total pelvic exenteration is a complex surgical procedure for advanced rectal cancer, and researchers are exploring a new approach using transanal minimally invasive surgery.
- A two-team surgical method combines laparoscopic and transanal techniques to effectively remove pelvic organs while minimizing complications.
- Preliminary results from eight patients show manageable blood loss and operation time, with no severe complications, suggesting this method is a promising alternative for complex cases.
Background: Lateral pelvic lymph node dissection (LLND) combined with removal of the internal iliac vessels is a challenging surgical procedure in minimally invasive surgery. We herein report our dissection approach and short-term outcomes.
Methods: We conducted a study on rectal cancer patients who underwent laparoscopuic LLND combined with removal of the internal iliac vessels at our institution in March 2017-December 2019.
