This study introduces a new, less aggressive rectoscopic microsurgery technique for difficult rectal resections. The novel approach resulted in complication-free recovery for all patients, enabling early discharge.

Area of Science:

  • Colorectal Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Surgical resection in the middle or upper rectum presents significant technical challenges due to anatomical inaccessibility.
  • Conventional surgical approaches can be aggressive and associated with complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a novel rectoscopic operative technique for microsurgery in the rectum.
  • To assess the safety and efficacy of this less aggressive approach for rectal tumor resection.

Main Methods:

  • A new rectoscopic operative technique was employed, utilizing an articulated monocular-optical system.
  • The technique was applied to 7 patients diagnosed with rectal tumors.
  • Postoperative outcomes and patient recovery were closely monitored.

Main Results:

  • All 7 patients experienced a complication-free postoperative course.
  • Patients were discharged by the eighth postoperative day.
  • The rectoscopic microsurgery demonstrated feasibility and safety in this patient cohort.

Conclusions:

  • The novel rectoscopic operative technique offers a less aggressive and technically feasible approach for rectal tumor resection.
  • Further advancements, including stereoscopic optics and specialized instruments, are recommended to enhance endoscopic rectal operations.
