AI Article Synopsis

  • A 69-year-old man with anemia had a colonoscopy that revealed a 2 cm black tumor near the anal verge.
  • The tumor was diagnosed as malignant melanoma at Stage I, and he underwent laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection.
  • Post-surgery, the patient survived for 9 months without any signs of recurrence and did not receive adjuvant chemotherapy.

Article Abstract

A 69-year-old man with anemia underwent colonoscopy. Colonoscopy showed a black tumor, 2 cm from the anal verge. The biopsy specimen revealed malignant melanoma, which was preoperatively diagnosed as T1(SM), N0, M0, Stage I . We performed laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection. The tissue type and diagnosis were malignant melanoma, pT1b(10 mm), pN0, pM0, ly0, v0, pDM0, pPM0, pRM0, pStage I b, according to the Colon Cancer Handling Terms, 8th edition). The patient did not receive adjuvant chemotherapy. However, he survived postoperatively for 9 months, with no sign of recurrence.

Background: Abdominoperineal resection (APR) is the standard treatment for locally advanced distal rectal cancer (LADRC) following neoadjuvant treatment when sphincter-preserving procedures are inapplicable. However, complications such as perineal site infection, perineal hernia and postoperative ileus remain ongoing challenges. We aimed to compare the rate of postoperative ileus due to pelvic incarceration in APR patients with/without pelvic inlet closure.

Introduction: Perineal hernias, protrusions through the pelvic diaphragm, are a rare complication post-abdominoperineal resection. The shift to extralevator APR techniques could be linked to a potential increase in these hernias. This case series evaluates the surgical management of perineal hernias, focusing on the evolving role of robotic surgery.

Background: Rectal cancer surgery remains a significant technical challenge. The development and implementation of a new technology offer hope for more accurate and precise surgery. To evaluate whether single-port robotic (SPr) technology helps achieve this goal, an international SPr registry was established.

Background: Postoperative perineal hernia (PH) is an uncommon complication after abdominoperineal resection (APR). Different techniques have been described in literature and there is no consensus regarding the optimal repair approach. In the present study, we reported a case of a laparoscopic combined repair of a perineal hernia and abdominal parastomal hernia (PSH) with mesh.

Minimally invasive surgery, especially robotic surgery, has become increasingly popular in colorectal surgery over the last decade. Robotic-assisted surgery has shown better outcomes than conventional laparoscopic surgery because of superior ergonomics, high-resolution three-dimensional cameras, and articulating instruments; however, issues like the long operative time and cost-effectiveness remain unresolved. This study compares the robotic and laparoscopic approach of abdominoperineal resection (APR) for low rectal cancer to evaluate the superiority of robotic surgery in short-term and oncological outcomes.
