Purpose The aim of the current study is to report the long-term outcomes after laparoscopic-assisted surgery compared with conventional open surgery within the context of the UK MRC CLASICC trial. Results from randomized trials have indicated that laparoscopic surgery for colon cancer is as effective as open surgery in the short term. Few data are available on rectal cancer, and long-term data on survival and recurrence are now required. Methods The United Kingdom Medical Research Council Conventional versus Laparoscopic-Assisted Surgery in Colorectal Cancer (UK MRC CLASICC; clinical trials number ISRCTN 74883561) trial study comparing conventional versus laparoscopic-assisted surgery in patients with cancer of the colon and rectum. The randomization ratio was 2:1 in favor of laparoscopic surgery. Long-term outcomes (3-year overall survival [OS], disease-free survival [DFS], local recurrence, and quality of life [QoL]) have now been determined on an intention-to-treat basis. Results Seven hundred ninety-four patients were recruited (526 laparoscopic and 268 open). Overall, there were no differences in the long-term outcomes. The differences in survival rates were OS of 1.8% (95% CI, −5.2% to 8.8%; P = .55), DFS of −1.4% (95% CI, −9.5% to 6.7%; P = .70), local recurrence of −0.8% (95% CI, −5.7% to 4.2%; P = .76), and QoL (P > .01 for all scales). Higher positivity of the circumferential resection margin was reported after laparoscopic anterior resection (AR), but it did not translate into an increased incidence of local recurrence. Conclusion Successful laparoscopic-assisted surgery for colon cancer is as effective as open surgery in terms of oncological outcomes and preservation of QoL. Long-term outcomes for patients with rectal cancer were similar in those undergoing abdominoperineal resection and AR, and support the continued use of laparoscopic surgery in these patients.

3518 Background: Laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer has been used widely. However, recent two randomized trials raised concerns about short-term oncologic safety of laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term oncologic safety of laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer based on 7-year data from the Comparison of Open versus laparoscopic surgery for mid or low REctal cancer After Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (COREAN) trial. Methods: COREAN trial was a non-inferiority, randomized controlled trial. Between April, 2006, and Aug, 2009, eligible participants with mid or low rectal cancer treated with preoperative chemoradiotherapy were randomly assigned (1:1) to laparoscopic (n = 170) or open surgery (n = 170). Seven-year outcomes included overall and disease-free survival, and local recurrence. Log-rank test and stratified Cox regression analysis were used for survival analysis. Analysis was by intention to treat. Results: The median follow-up times were 84 months (IQR: 61.5-97.0). No differences were found between laparoscopic and open surgery group in terms of overall and disease-free survival, and local recurrence (7-year overall survival: 83.2% [laparoscopic] vs 77.3% [open], p = 0.48; 7-year disease-free survival: 71.6% [laparoscopic] vs 64.3% [open], p = 0.20; 7-year local recurrence: 3.3% [laparoscopic] vs 7.9% [open], p = 0.08). Stratified Cox regression analysis adjusted for ypT, ypN and tumor regression grade showed no significant difference between groups in terms of overall and disease-free survival, and local recurrence. The hazard ratios for overall survival, disease-free survival and local recurrence (open vs laparoscopic surgery) were 0.96 (95% CI = 0.58-1.57), 1.03 (95% CI = 0.70-1.53), and 2.28 (95% CI = 0.82-7.16), respectively. Conclusions: The 7-year analysis confirm the long-term oncological safety of laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer treated with preoperative chemoradiotherapy. The use of laparoscopic surgery does not compromise the long-term survival outcomes in rectal cancer. Clinical trial information: NCT00470951.

Liver is the main target organ for colorectal cancer (CRC) metastases. It is estimated that ~25% of CRC patients have synchronous metastases at diagnosis, and about 60% of CRC patients will develop metastases during the follow up. Although several teams have performed simultaneous laparoscopic resections (SLR) of liver and colorectal lesions, the feasibility and safety of this approach is still widely debated and few studies on this topic are present in the literature. The purpose of this literature review is to understand the state of the art of SLR and to clarify the potential benefits and limitations of this approach. Several studies have shown that SLR can be performed safely and with short-term outcomes similarly to the separated procedures. Simultaneous laparoscopic colorectal and hepatic resections combine the advantages of one stage surgery with those of laparoscopic surgery. Several reports compared the short-term outcomes of one stage laparoscopic resection with open resections and showed a similar or inferior amount of blood loss, a similar or lower complication rate, and a significant reduction of hospital stay for laparoscopic surgery respect to open surgery but much longer operating times for the laparoscopic technique. Few retrospective studies compared long term outcomes of laparoscopic one stage surgery with the outcomes of open one stage surgery and did not identify any differences about disease free survival and the overall survival. In conclusion, hepatic and colorectal SLR are a safe and effective approach characterized by less intraoperative blood loss, faster recovery of intestinal function, and shorter length of postoperative hospital stay. Moreover, laparoscopic approach is associated to lower rates of surgical complications without significant differences in the long-term outcomes compared to the open surgery.

793 Background: We have reported the effectiveness of neoadjuvant radiotherapy (RT) combined with S-1 in terms of compliance and pathologic response for locally advanced rectal cancer. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic surgery for locally advanced rectal cancer following neoadjuvant RT combined with S-1 in comparison with open surgery. Methods: Two multicenter prospective phase II trials were conducted (UMIN003396, UMIN003398). A total of 63 patients with locally advanced rectal cancer classified as T3-4, N0-3, and M0 were enrolled, and neoadjuvant RT combined with S-1 and total mesorectal excision with D3 lymphadenectomy was performed. Of these, 57 patients were analyzed and divided into a laparoscopic group (LAP, n = 43) and open group (OP, n = 14). We evaluated the short- and long-term outcomes of laparoscopic surgery compared with open surgery by univariate and multivariate analyses. Results: In the patient background, there were no significant differences between the two groups except that cases with T3 and N0 were significantly higher in the LAP compared with the OP. In the operative findings, operation time was longer (mean 447 min vs. 352 min, p = 0.007) and blood loss was lesser (median 220 ml vs. 485 ml, p = 0.033) in the LAP than those in the OP. Although there were no significant differences observed in the incidence of perioperative and late complications between the two groups, reoperation within 30 days was significantly less in the LAP compared with the OP (1 case vs. 5 cases, p = 0.0004). In the multivariate analysis, a distance of the tumor from anal verge within 3 cm was the independent risk factor for reoperation within 30 days. Furthermore, estimated 5-year disease-free survival (LAP 72 % vs. OP 73 %, p = 0.945) and 5-year overall survival (LAP 76 % vs. 75 %, p = 0.836) didn’t significantly differ between the two groups in the Kaplan–Meier curve. Conclusions: The findings of this study demonstrated that laparoscopic surgery for locally advanced rectal cancer following neoadjuvant RT combined with S-1 could be an optional procedure in terms of short- and long-term outcomes. Clinical trial information: UMIN000003396, UMIN000003398.

Introduction: Currently, there is limited data regarding the long-term outcomes of single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) for colon cancer. Therefore, we investigated both the short- and long-term outcomes of SILS for right-sided colon cancer. Methods: We retrospectively compared the short- and long-term outcomes of SILS and conventional laparoscopic surgery (CLS) for right-sided colon cancer (specifically the cecum and ascending colon) in our institution. Inter-group differences of short-term outcomes were evaluated using the chi-squared or Fisher exact test and two-sample Student’s t-test. The disease-free survival rates (long-term outcome) of stage 0 to III patients were estimated using the Kaplan–Meier method and compared using log-rank tests. Results: There were 290 operations conducted for right-sided (cecum and ascending color) colorectal cancers between April 2011 and July 2018. Twelve patients underwent planned laparotomy. Of the remaining 278 patients, 55 underwent planned conventional laparoscopic surgery, 27 patients had planned reduced poet surgery (RPS), and 196 patients had planned SILS. The procedures had been selected by skilled surgeons. One patient underwent intraoperative conversion from SILS to laparotomy for bleeding control. In addition, one port was added to SILS in three cases. These four cases were included in the analysis as the SILS group, according to the principle of intent to treat. Background factors, including age, sex, body mass index, performance status, and tumor stage were not statistically different between the SILS and CLS groups. In the short-term outcomes, the number of harvested lymph-nodes was not statistically different. SILS required less operating time (P<0.001) and resulted in a reduced bleeding volume (P<0.001). There was no statistical difference in the frequency of overall complications (P=0.06). The disease-free survival of stage 0 to III patients was not statistically different between the two groups. Conclusions: Skilled surgeons can achieve adequate oncologic long-term outcomes in selected subgroups of SILS patients. Therefore, SILS could be a treatment option for right-sided colon cancer.

Background: Management of rectal cancer has been evolved over the past two decades with the introduction of total mesorectal excision (TME) and laparoscopic resection. Objective: This study aims to assess the difference in the long term outcomes after laparoscopic and open resection for potentially curable, non-metastatic rectal cancer patients.Methods: This is a retrospective study which has been conducted in a single tertiary care center where the patients were recruited from the colorectal database of the Section of Colon and Rectal Surgery at King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre (KFSH&RC). It included all the patients who had non-metastatic rectal cancer and underwent laparoscopic or open curative resection regardless of their age or the comorbid status during the period from January 2012 – December 2015. We studied the long-term outcomes for those patients which included the completeness of resection of the tumor, overall 3-year survival, 3-year disease free survival, local recurrence and distal recurrence of the cancer.Results:120 patients were included in this study, 69 of them were males and 51 were females. 86 (71.7%) of them underwent open surgery while 34 (28.3%) underwent laparoscopic surgery. After a mean follow up of 32.4 months: 104 patients were alive, 7 deceased and 9 were lost of follow up. Local recurrence in the open approach (OA), and laparoscopic approach (LA) groups was 3/86 (3.5%) and 4/34 (11.8%) respectively. Distal recurrence occurred in 12/86 (14%) of OA and 5/34 (14.7%) of LA. Overall 3-years survival for OA and LA was 89% and 97% respectively and the 3-years disease free survival was 49% and 57% respectively.Conclusion: Laparoscopic and open rectal excision were similar in their outcome.
