Open or Laparoscopic Mesolectal Excision in Low Rectum Cancer
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
To compare the open approach and the laparoscopic-assisted approach of dissection of lateral lymph nodes in low advanced rectal cancer patients with clinically suspected nodal metastases in terms of safety, technical feasibility, and patient's oncological outcomes.

Detailed Description
the investigators collected data of sixty low advanced cancer rectum patients who underwent either laparoscopic (30 cases) or open total mesorectal excision (30 cases) in addition to lateral pelvic dissection. The duration of operation in the laparoscopically assisted procedure was longer than the open procedure (p=0.003). The postoperative hospital stay time was longer in the open group than in the laparoscopic group (P=0.043). No significant differences between both groups regarding the number of excised lymph nodes, disease recurrence, RFS, or OS rate.

Active Comparator: group 1 underwent laparoscopic-assisted excision of mesorectum |
Procedure: laparoscopic-assited excision of mesorectum with pelvic lymph nodes excision
We performed laparoscopic dissection of the lateral pelvic lymph node for thirty patients while we performed open lateral pelvic lymph node dissection for the remaining thirty patients.
Performed surgical approaches were abdominoperineal resection, internal sphincter resection, and low anterior resection. All performed surgical procedures included lateral pelvic lymphadenectomy in addition to performing total mesorectal excision.
Choosing whether to perform unilateral or bilateral lymphadenectomy depends on lymph nodes invasion by cancer was on one side or both sides.
