Port-Site Recurrence Reproduced in the VX-2 Rabbit Carcinoma Model: An In Vivo Model Comparing Laparoscopic Port Sites and Open Incisions

چکیده
BACKGROUND The use of advanced laparoscopy remains controversial in the field of surgical oncology because the potential for port-site recurrence may violate sound oncologic principles. Two mechanisms are theorized to be the cause of port-site recurrences: first, indirect contamination caused by pneumoperitoneum, aerosolization, or intraperitoneal spread, and second, direct contamination by physical trocar seeding. METHODS A VX-2 carcinoma cell suspension was transferred under the left renal capsule of 31 rabbits with either an open flank incision (16) or laparoscopy (15). Animals were observed for tumor recurrence at the video port, the working port, and the open incision. Intraoperative findings and necropsy were used to document recurrence. RESULTS The open incision technique resulted in local tumor recurrence in 1/16 animals with 16/16 viable intraabdominal tumors. The laparoscopic technique resulted in 0/15 video port-site recurrences and 9/15 working port-site recurrences, with 14/15 viable intraabdominal tumors. Recurrence at the laparoscopic working port occurred more frequently than in the open (P < 0.02) or laparoscopic video port groups (P < 0.007). No significant difference existed in recurrence between the open incision and the laparoscopic video port (P > 0.5). CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic port-site recurrences can be reproduced using the transplantable VX-2 rabbit carcinoma model. In the VX-2 model, trocar recurrence is the result of direct contamination via surgical instrumentation of viable tumor cells. The effect of the pneumoperitoneum or intraperitoneal cytological spillage (indirect contamination) does not have any effect on trocar recurrence. This model can be used to test and improve laparoscopic techniques to minimize the risk of port-site recurrence. Until technological advances have eliminated the risk of trocar recurrences, direct contact between malignant cells and laparoscopic instruments should be performed with caution.

Background: Laparoscopic Surgery (LS) may be associated with many port site complications such as hernia, bleeding, infection, subcutaneous emphysema and ugly scars. Some of these complications are serious such as obstructed port site hernia . Rate of these complications is low depending on size and site of the port incision, type of the trocar that it is used, the condition of the patient a...

INTRODUCTION Laparoscopic port-site metastasis is a rare but well recognized outcome following surgery in urological cancers, with its etiology not clearly understood. Additionally, vaginal metastasis in clear cell renal cell carcinoma is rare, and has not been previously reported in the setting of papillary renal cell carcinoma. CASE PRESENTATION We present the case of a 71-year-old Chinese ...

OBJECTIVE We reviewed the long-term results and patient survival for laparoscopic-assisted resection of colorectal malignancies. The place of laparoscopic colectomy for colorectal carcinomas is controversial. The techniques and expected surgical outcomes for patients undergoing laparoscopic and laparoscopic-assisted colectomies are being defined as these procedures become more acceptable and re...
متن کاملPort Surgery for Colorectal Cancer Patients, Involving the Use of A Single- Incision Laparoscopic Surgery Port at the Planned Stoma Site
A single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) port may be used to reduce the number of surgical incisions. Here, we describe our technique, equivalent in technical difficulty to conventional laparoscopy, of using a SILS port at a planned diverting-stoma site in colorectal cancer patients. This technique is indicated for patients for whom the intent is to perform tumor resection with diverting i...
