Laparoscopic versus open total mesorectal excision: a case-control study

International Journal of Colorectal Disease, 2005
Because definitive long-term results are not yet available, the oncological safety of laparoscopic surgery for treatment of rectal cancer remains unproven. The aim of this prospective non-randomised study was to assess the feasibility and short-term outcome of laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (LTME) after 25--30 Gy preoperative radiotherapy and ...

How to use a fan retractor in laparoscopic total mesorectal excision

ANZ Journal of Surgery, 2020
Obtaining exposure of the total mesorectal excision plane via a laparoscopic approach is technically challenging due to instrument limitations. Use of an articulating fan retractor is a relatively simple, cost-effective and easily accessible instrument that allows the surgeon to gain improved retraction and exposure in what is an otherwise technically ...

Laparoscopic Total Mesorectal Excision for Rectal Cancer

Seminars in Colon and Rectal Surgery, 2010
Laparoscopic colectomy for cancer has been shown to be equivalent to open colectomy. Laparoscopic total mesorectal excision is feasible but remains investigational. Improvement in equipment and training for rectal dissection should result in similar outcomes to open operation for cancer in the future.

Laparoscopic Total Mesorectal Excision for Rectal Cancers

Diseases of the Colon & Rectum, 2006
More and more colorectal surgeons believe that total mesorectal excision can achieve favorable oncologic results for the treatment of rectal cancers. The present study is a feasibility study aiming to evaluate if total mesorectal excision can be safely performed by laparoscopic approach with beneficial functional recovery.

A simple difficulty scoring system for laparoscopic total mesorectal excision

Techniques in Coloproctology, 2020
The proposed difficulty scoring system (DSS) may aid in preoperative planning for laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (L-TME) for rectal cancer.Fifty-three patients [28 males; 59.0 (31.0-88.0) years of age] treated for rectal cancer at our institution from 2/2011-5/2018 were identified.

Laparoscopic total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer

2017
The Medical Research Council Conventional versus Laparoscopic-Assisted Surgery in Colorectal Cancer trial was the first large study to also include rectal cancer patients. Supervised training has been shown to shorten the proficiency gain curve in all levels of surgical proficiency, without compromising patient safety. Magnetic resonance imaging of the

Male sexual function after laparoscopic total mesorectal excision

Colorectal Disease, 2013
AbstractAim  The aim of this prospective study was to clarify the frequency of male sexual dysfunction after laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (LTME) and to examine the relationship between pelvic autonomic nerve (PAN) preservation status and functional outcomes.Method  Candidates for LTME were included in this study. PAN preservation status after

Factors Predicting Operative Difficulty of Laparoscopic Total Mesorectal Excision

Diseases of the Colon & Rectum, 2019
BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic total mesorectal excision is a challenging procedure requiring high-quality surgery for optimal outcomes. Patient, tumor, and pelvic factors are believed to determine difficulty, but previous studies were limited to postoperative data.

Total mesorectal excision in rectal cancer management: laparoscopic or transanal?

Khirurgiya. Zhurnal im. N.I. Pirogova, 2016
To evaluate and compare intraoperative features, early surgical outcomes, quality of excised specimen after laparoscopic and transanal total mesorectal excision (LA-TME and TA-TME).Prospective randomized study included 45 patients with confirmed rectal adenocarcinoma (cT2-4N0-2M0) since October 2013.

Laparoscopic Total Mesorectal Excision With Coloanal Anastomosis for Rectal Cancer

Annals of Surgery, 2015
Oncologic and functional outcomes were compared between transanal and transabdominal specimen extraction after laparoscopic coloanal anastomosis for rectal cancer.Laparoscopic coloanal anastomosis is an attractive new surgical option in patients with low rectal cancer because laparotomy is not necessary due to transanal specimen extraction.
