Single-incision Versus Conventional Laparoscopic Surgery for Colorectal Cancer (mSILSC)

September 2, 2021 updated by: Zhao Ren, Ruijin Hospital

Multi-center Prospective Randomized Controlled Study of the Single-incision Laparoscopic Surgery Versus Conventional Laparoscopic Surgery for Colorectal Cancer

This study is designed to evaluate the short-term and long-term results after single incision laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer(SILSC) compared with conventional laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer(CLSC).

Study Overview

Detailed Description

In order to improve cosmetic effect and reduce postoperative pain, single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) is attracting increasing attention. SILS is considered to be the next major advance in the progress of minimally invasive surgical approaches to colorectal disease that is more feasible in generalized use. In most previous studies, SILS for colorectal cancer was feasible and short-term safe compared to conventional laparoscopic surgery (CLS) . However, there is still controversy over its potential better cosmetic effect and less postoperative pain. Moreover, the long-term oncologic outcomes are still inconclusive as only a few studies showed long-term survival data. Up to now, most studies were limited to their retrospective nature and small samples. So more studies, especially large-scale, randomized controlled trials are needed to establish the best indications for SILS for colorectal cancer.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Conventional Laparoscopic Surgery
Patients with colorectal cancer undergo conventional laparoscopic surgery(multi-ports).
Patients undergo conventional laparoscopic surgery. In this group,the surgery is performed through 3-5 ports according to the surgeons habits and specific conditions.
Other Names:
  • CLSC
Experimental: Single-incision Laparoscopic Surgery
Patients with colorectal cancer undergo single-incision laparoscopic surgery.
Patients undergo single-incision laparoscopic surgery. In this group,the surgery is performed through a transumbilical port. The surgeon will adjust surgical position to expose the operative field with the help of gravity. Besides,hand over hand cross and parallel techniques are needed to achieve the SILS. All the other operative procedures are the same as conventional laparoscopic surgery.
Other Names:
  • SILSC
