Introduction.
Single-access laparoscopic surgery (SALS) has been successfully introduced for colectomy surgery; however, for mid to low rectum procedures such as total mesorectal excision, it can be technically complicated.
In this study, we introduced a single-access technique for rectum cancer operations without the use of other instruments.
Aims.
To show the short-term results of single-access laparoscopic rectal surgery in terms of pathologic results and immediate complications.
Settings and Design.
Prospective study.
Materials and Methods.
We selected middle rectum to anal canal cancer patients to undergo single-access laparoscopic rectal resection for rectal cancer.
All patients had total mesorectal excisions.
An umbilical incision was made for the insertion of a single multichannel port, and a mesocolic window was created to identify the inferior mesenteric artery and vein.
Total mesorectal excision was performed.
There were no perioperative complications.
The mean operative time was 269 minutes; the median hospital stay was 7 days; the mean wound size was 5.5 cm; the median number of harvested lymph nodes was 15; and all patients had intact mesorectal capsules.
Statistical Analysis Used.
Mean, minimum–maximum.
Conclusion.
Single-access laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer is feasible while oncologic principles and patient safety are maintained.
