Area of Science:

  • Surgical Oncology
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery
  • Rectal Cancer Treatment

Background:

  • Low anterior resection (LAR) is a standard surgical procedure for rectal cancer.
  • Challenges exist in performing LAR, especially in patients with narrow pelves.
  • The PDS endoloop offers a potential solution for improved surgical outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of a new low anterior resection technique using a PDS endoloop.
  • To assess the feasibility of this technique in patients with rectal cancer.
  • To determine the impact of this technique on surgical outcomes and patient recovery.

Main Methods:

  • A novel low anterior resection technique utilizing a PDS endoloop was performed on ten rectal cancer patients.

  • The procedure involved standard rectosigmoid colon preparation, transanal stapler insertion, and dual endoloop ligation.
  • The rectum was transected, and a circular end-to-end anastomosis was created using the stapler.

    • Main Results:

    • The anastomosis level ranged from 2.5 to 6 cm (mean 4.7 cm) across ten patients.
    • One patient experienced a minor postoperative anastomotic leakage.
    • No local recurrence or distant metastasis has been observed to date in any patient.

    Conclusions:

    • The PDS endoloop technique for low anterior resection is a safe and effective approach for rectal cancer.
    • This method enhances surgical skill and safety, particularly beneficial in narrow pelvic dissections.
    • The technique shows promising results with low complication rates and no evidence of cancer recurrence.
