Objective:
To explore the possibility of LPD with transanal specimen extraction for periampullary tumors.
Background:
Natural orifice specimen extraction has been widely performed in colorectal surgery. But so far there is no report regarding natural orifice specimen extraction in LPD.
Methods:
Data of 3 patients who underwent LPD with transanal specimen extraction by the same surgeon between July 2018 and March 2019 due to periampullary tumors were evaluated retrospectively.
Results:
All patients underwent LPD with no conversion to open surgery. Specimens were all extracted transanally. No complications occurred except for delayed gastric emptying in 1 patient. The patients' anorectal function was intact and no opioids were required postoperatively. After a follow-up of 17-25 months, all patients were alive with no tumor recurrence.
Conclusion:
Treatment of periampullary tumors by LPD with transanal specimen extraction is feasible and safe.
