Laparoscopic Abdominoperineal Resection with Sacrectomy: Technical Details and Pitfalls

Robotic-assisted laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection for anal cancer: feasibility and technical considerations.

BACKGROUND Robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery is an emerging technology that may prove advantageous for complex colorectal procedures involving the irradiated pelvis, such as abdominoperineal resection for recurrent anal cancer. The authors' initial experience is presented, with assessment of feasibility, safety, and oncologic principles. METHODS Over a 6 month period, five abdominoperinea...

Comparison of Short and Long Term Outcomes for Open vs. Laparoscopic Assisted Abdominoperineal Resection for Rectal Cancer

The abdominoperineal resection (APR) has been regarded as the gold standard for the surgical treatment of lower-lying rectal cancer (also for cases of sphincter or puborectal muscle invasion) [1]. APRs require the total mesorectal excision of the rectum and anal sphincters, resulting in the formation of a permanent colostomy. Laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer is being performed increas...

Laparoscopic liver resection assisted with radiofrequency.

BACKGROUND Radiofrequency-assisted laparoscopic liver resection is reported. METHODS Patients suitable for liver resection were carefully assessed for laparoscopic resection. Patient and intraoperative and postoperative data were prospectively collected and analyzed. RESULTS Eighteen patients underwent laparoscopic liver resection. All operations were performed without vascular clamping and...
