A New Laparoscopic Surgical Procedure to Achieve Sufficient Mesorectal Excision in Upper Rectal Cancer
Objective. Mesorectal excision corresponding to the location of a tumor, termed tumor-specific mesorectal excision (TSME), is commonly performed for resection of upper rectal cancer. We devised a new laparoscopic procedure for sufficient TSME with rectal transection followed by mesorectal excision. Operative Technique. After mobilization of the sigmoid colon and ligation of inferior mesenteric ...
متن کاملPathological evidence in support of total mesorectal excision in the management of rectal cancer.
Some 50 total mesorectal excision specimens were examined following rectal excision for cancer. Circumferential margin involvement was rare, but mesorectal tumour deposits were present in 17 of 44 patients with pT3 tumours, and 23 of 44 had mesorectal nodal involvement. No patient with a pT2 tumour had mesorectal involvement. Failure to excise the mesorectum completely has the potential to leav...
متن کاملMagnetic Resonance Imaging to Evaluate Neoadjuvant Therapy Effects on Rectal Carcinoma.
Although total mesorectal excision reduces the local recurrence rate in comparison to other surgical approaches, the occurrence of local relapse is still common, especially in cases when there is malignant infiltration of the circumferential resection margin. Mesorectal fascia is an important prognostic and diagnostic factor and it may be argued that mesorectal fascia represents the circumferen...
متن کاملHigher risk of incomplete mesorectal excision and positive circumferential margin in low rectal cancer regardless of surgical technique
INTRODUCTION Currently, the predominant question is whether a laparoscopic approach is comparatively radical in comparison with an open access approach, especially in the circumferential resection margin and quality of the completeness of total mesorectal excision. These factors are important in determining the quality of surgical care as well as long-term results of the treatment. AIM This a...
متن کاملQuality of Life in Rectal Cancer Patients After Chemoradiation: Watch-and-Wait Policy Versus Standard Resection - A Matched-Controlled Study.
BACKGROUND Fifteen to twenty percent of patients with locally advanced rectal cancer have a clinical complete response after chemoradiation therapy. These patients can be offered nonoperative organ-preserving treatment, the so-called watch-and-wait policy. The main goal of this watch-and-wait policy is an anticipated improved quality of life and functional outcome in comparison with a total mes...
