Area of Science:

  • Surgical techniques
  • Minimally invasive surgery
  • Colorectal surgery

Background:

  • Laparoscopic surgery is increasingly adopted for various procedures.
  • Abdominoperineal resection (APR) is a complex surgery for rectal conditions.
  • Evaluating the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic APR is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a technique for laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection (APR).
  • To assess the feasibility, safety, and outcomes of laparoscopic APR.
  • To identify intraoperative and postoperative advantages and disadvantages.

Main Methods:

  • Laparoscopic approach for abdominoperineal resection.
  • Case series reporting on four patients undergoing laparoscopic APR.
  • Analysis of intraoperative complications, operative time, cost, and postoperative outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Three of four cases were completed laparoscopically.
  • One major complication (enterotomy) and one minor complication (subcutaneous emphysema) occurred.
  • Postoperative benefits included earlier mobilization, oral intake, discharge, decreased pain, and improved cosmesis.
  • Intraoperative disadvantages included increased operative time and cost, despite enhanced visualization.

Conclusions:

  • Laparoscopic APR is a feasible and safe surgical option.
  • Further experience is expected to improve outcomes and cost-effectiveness.
  • Laparoscopic APR offers significant postoperative advantages for patient recovery.
