Accurate localization of colorectal tumors is crucial for laparoscopic surgery. Preoperative endoscopic tattooing is highly effective, with intraoperative colonoscopy serving as a reliable backup for precise tumor identification and resection.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Palpating colonic tumors during laparoscopy is not feasible, necessitating precise preoperative tumor localization for successful laparoscopic colorectal surgery.
  • Accurate tumor identification is essential to guide surgical approach and ensure complete resection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the accuracy of various diagnostic methods for localizing colorectal tumors.
  • To propose an optimal localization protocol for laparoscopic colorectal surgery.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective analysis of 310 patients undergoing laparoscopy-assisted colectomy.
  • Comparison of preoperative tumor localization accuracy using colonoscopy, barium enema, computed tomography (CT) colonography, and endoscopic tattooing.

  • Evaluation of intraoperative colonoscopy for lesion localization when preoperative methods failed.

    • Main Results:

    • Endoscopic tattooing demonstrated the highest accuracy (97.9%), followed by CT colonography (94.7%) and barium enema (93.3%).
    • Colonoscopy showed lower accuracy (88.7%), with 11.3% of cases inaccurately localized.
    • Intraoperative colonoscopy achieved 100% accuracy in localizing lesions when preoperative methods were insufficient.

    Conclusions:

    • Preoperative endoscopic tattooing is a safe and highly effective method for colorectal tumor localization in laparoscopic surgery.
    • Intraoperative colonoscopy is a valuable tool for accurate localization when preoperative tattooing fails.
    • Combined localization methods ensure successful tumor resection in laparoscopic colorectal procedures.
