Summary

This study demonstrates a standardized laparoscopic technique for oncologic abdominoperineal resection in cadavers. The method achieved key oncologic principles, including vascular ligation and complete mesorectal removal, suggesting feasibility for future clinical application.

Area of Science:

  • Colorectal Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Laparoscopic techniques are gaining traction in intestinal surgery.
  • Evidence for oncologic abdominoperineal resection (APR) via laparoscopy is limited.
  • This study aimed to develop and validate a laparoscopic APR technique in a cadaver model.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish a standardized laparoscopic oncologic abdominoperineal resection (APR) technique.
  • To assess the feasibility of laparoscopic APR adhering to oncologic surgical principles.
  • To evaluate intraoperative complications, vascular ligation, mesorectal clearance, and pelvic sidewall margins.

Main Methods:

  • Laparoscopic APR was performed on 11 fresh cadavers.
  • Post-operative autopsy evaluated lymph node yield and tissue margins.

  • Key metrics included lymph node count, inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) stump length, and pelvic sidewall clearance.

    • Main Results:

    • No significant intraoperative complications occurred.
    • Median 12 lymph nodes were retrieved from the mesorectum.
    • Complete removal of the mesorectum and wide pelvic sidewall clearance were achieved in all specimens.

    Conclusions:

    • A laparoscopic technique for oncologic abdominoperineal resection (APR) is feasible.
    • The described technique allows for proximal vascular ligation of the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA).
    • Complete mesorectal excision and adequate pelvic sidewall margins can be achieved laparoscopically.
