Laparoscopic Retroileal Pull-Through Colorectal Anastomosis Technique

Purpose: To evaluate the functional outcome of sphincter-preserving rectal resection for low rectal cancer. Materials and Methods: From April 2009 to January 2016, there are 52 patients who underwent sphincter-preserving rectal resection with total mesorectal excision with low rectal cancer (<6cm from the anal verge) at Hue Central Hospital, Hue, Vietnam. Results: the average age 62.7 ± 12.8, the distance of tumor from anal verge include four group (≤ 3cm 1.9%; 3 to ≤ 4cm 17.3%; 4 to ≤ 5cm 34.6%; > 5 cm). T stage T1/ T2/T3: 1.9%/28.8%/69.2%. The following time is 33.8 ± 18.9 month. Overall recurrence was 13/18(27.1%), local recurrence was 5 (10.4%). Total survival was 40.5 ± 2.9 month. Technique: intersphincteric preservation 14 (26.9%), low anterior resection 17 (32.7%) and pull-through procedure 21 (40.4%). The distance of anatomosis from anal verge: from 1 to ≤ 2 cm:14 (26.9%); from 2 to ≤ 3cm: 21 (40.4%); from 3 to ≤ 4 cm: 17 (32.7%). Bowels movement of 3 month: 4.7 ± 3.2 and 12th month: 2.7 ± 1.6 (p< 0.01). Conclusions: Sphincterpreserving rectal resection using may provide a good continence and oncologic safety. The patients are acceptable with the results of functional outcomes. Key words: Low rectal cancer, sphincter-preserving

AbstractDespite advances in coloanal anastomosis techniques, satisfactory procedures completed without complications remain lacking. We investigated the effectiveness of our recently developed ‘Short stump and High anastomosis Pull-through’ (SHiP) procedure for delayed coloanal anastomosis without a stoma. In this retrospective study, we analysed functional outcomes, morbidity, and mortality rates and local recurrence of 37 patients treated using SHiP procedure, out of the 282 patients affected by rectal cancer treated in our institution between 2012 and 2020. The inclusion criterion was that the rectal cancer be located within 4 cm from the anal margin. One patient died of local and pulmonary recurrence after 6 years, one developed lung and liver metastases after 2 years, and one experienced local recurrence 2.5 years after surgery. No major leak, retraction, or ischaemia of the colonic stump occurred; the perioperative mortality rate was zero. Five patients (13.51%) had early complications. Stenosis of the anastomosis, which occurred in nine patients (24.3%), was the only long-term complication; only three (8.1%) were symptomatic and were treated with endoscopic dilation. The mean Wexner scores at 24 and 36 months were 8.3 and 8.1 points, respectively. At the 36-month check-up, six patients (24%) had major LARS, ten (40%) had minor LARS, and nine (36%) had no LARS. The functional results in terms of LARS were similar to those previously reported after immediate coloanal anastomosis with protective stoma. The SHiP procedure resulted in a drastic reduction in major complications, and none of the patients had a stoma.

Abstract Background Transanal endorectal pull-through (TEPT) is considered the most preferable treatment method for Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) since it is less invasive and has fewer morbidities than transabdominal pull-through. Here, functional outcomes in short-segment HSCR patients after TEPT were assessed and associated with the prognostic factors. Methods Krickenbeck classification was used to assess the functional outcomes in patients with HSCR after TEPT surgery at our institution from 2012 to 2020. Results Fifty patients were involved in this study. Voluntary bowel movement (VBM) was achieved in 82% of subjects. Nine (18%) subjects had soiling grade 1, while two (4%) and two (4%) patients suffered constipation that was manageable with diet and laxative agents, respectively. Patients who underwent TEPT at ≥ 4 years old tended to have soiling more than patients who underwent TEPT at < 4 years old (OR = 16.47 [95% CI 0.9–301.61]; p = 0.06), whereas patients with post-operative complications had 10.5-fold higher risk for constipation than patients without post-operative complications (p = 0.037; 95% CI 1.15–95.92). Multivariate analysis showed male sex was significantly associated with VBM (OR = 9.25 [95% CI 1.34–63.77]; p = 0.024), while post-operative complications were strongly correlated with constipation (OR = 10 [95% CI 1.09–91.44]; p = 0.04). Conclusions The functional outcomes of HSCR patients after TEPT in our institution are considered relatively good. Moreover, the VBM, soiling, and constipation risk after TEPT might be affected by sex, age at TEPT performed, and post-operative complications, respectively, while the age at TEPT performed might not be associated with functional outcomes. Further multicenter studies with a larger sample size are necessary to clarify and confirm our findings.
