Video-endoscopic surgery does not promote tumor growth, and may offer therapeutic benefits in cancer treatment. While beneficial for early-stage cancers, long-term outcomes require further study.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Concerns exist regarding video-endoscopic surgery potentially promoting tumor growth or metastases.
  • Pneumoperitoneum's effects (gas, pressure, temperature) may offer novel therapeutic avenues in cancer surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the oncological safety and efficacy of video-endoscopic surgery.
  • To explore the potential therapeutic benefits of pneumoperitoneum in cancer surgery.
  • To assess the current clinical evidence for video-endoscopic interventions in oncology.

Main Methods:

  • Review of experimental and clinical data regarding video-endoscopic surgery in cancer patients.
  • Analysis of oncological resection techniques like "no touch isolation" and "monobloc resection" in video-endoscopic procedures.

  • Examination of available randomized studies comparing video-endoscopic and conventional surgery, particularly for colorectal carcinoma.

    • Main Results:

    • No current data support the claim that video-endoscopic surgery promotes tumor growth or metastases.
    • Standardized video-endoscopic techniques allow for oncologically adequate resections in various cancers.
    • Benefits are limited in large tumors or those reaching the organ surface.
    • Laparoscopic colorectal resections show comparable outcomes to conventional methods with early postoperative advantages.

    Conclusions:

    • Video-endoscopic surgery is not proven to enhance tumor growth and may offer therapeutic advantages.
    • Standardized techniques enable effective oncological resections, though limitations exist for advanced tumors.
    • More randomized trials are needed to establish long-term oncological outcomes for video-endoscopic interventions across various cancers.
