Objective To assess the feasibility and adequacy of Harmonic Scalpel in a totally laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (TME) and low,ultralow,colo-anal anastomoses for rectal cancer.
Methods Excision of the mesorectum and low，ultralow site anastomoses were performed laparoscopically on 30 patients with low rectal cancer based on the concept of TME.
Results All 30 TME were successfully completed by laparoscopic approach, and no one was converted to open procedures. A cholecystectomy and/or an ovariotomy were meanwhile performed laparoscopically for 3 patients with rectal cancer,and 1 patient with chronic cholesyctitis, gallstone,ovarian cyst and torsion of the ovary. The operation time was 155 min (115-320 min). Operative blood loss was 20 ml (5-80 ml).The time of bowel function returned and the time to resume postoperative diet was 1-2 days after the operation. Fourteen patients had postoperative analgesic requirement. Average hospital stay was 8 days (5-14 days) and there were no intraoperative and postoperative complications in all 30 patients.
Conclusion Laparoscopic excision of the mesorectum and low,ultralow,coloanal anastomoses with Harmonic Scalpel for low rectal cancer is a perspective minimally invasive technique, which is feasible, safe, effective and has dramatic high rates of sphincter preservation with decreased postoperative pain, rapid recovery.
