Abstract:
Objective To observe and evaluate the clinical efficacy of laparoscopic abdominoperineal intersphincteric resection combined with ileostomy for the treatment of ultra-low rectal cancer.
Methods Clinicopathologic data of 74 patients undergoing laparoscopic radical resection for ultra-low rectal cancer at Coloproctology Hospital of Chengdu from January 2015 to June 2017 were retrospectively analyzed.In total, 43 patients underwent laparoscopic abdominoperineal intersphincteric resection combined with ileostomy (ISR group), and 31 patients underwent laparoscopic low anterior resection combined with ileostomy (LAR group).The perioperative condition, radical resection of tumor, and postoperative anal function were compared between the two groups.
Results There were no significant differences in blood loss, postoperative hospital stay, and postoperative complications between the groups (all P> 0.05).The mean operative time was (306.6±25.1) minutes in the ISR group and (239.7±26.4) minutes in the LAR group (P=0.010). There were no significant differences in pT and pN between the groups (all P values >0.05).The coincidence rate of T stage diagnosis was 93.0% in the ISR group and 93.5% in the LAR group.The positive rate of circumferential resection margin in the two groups was 0. The mean distance of the distal margin was (2.3±0.1) cm in the ISR group and (1.4±0.3) cm in the LAR group (P < 0.001).All patients were followed up for 12-42(mean 23.4) months.The local recurrence rate was 0 in the ISR group and 12.9%(4/31) in the LAR group (P=0.027);no distant metastasis was observed in any of the groups.There was no significant difference in the
Results of the anorectal manometry test between the groups (P>0.05).The proportion of patients with good continence of anal function after closure of ileos-tomy was 83.7% in the ISR group and 87.1% in the LAR group (P>0.05).
Conclusions Laparoscopic abdominoperineal intersphincteric resection combined with ileostomy is safe and feasible for the treatment of ultra-low rectal cancer, and it leads to satisfactory anal function and a short-term curative effect.
