Laparoscopic Right Hemicolectomy With Transrectal Specimen Extraction for Colon Cancer

April 8, 2024 updated by: Haitao Zhou, National Cancer Center, China
The purpose of this study is to investigate the preliminary surgical outcomes of laparoscopic right hemicolectomy with transrectal specimen extraction. The hypothesis is that this type of natural orifice specimen extraction surgery (NOSES) could achieve good short-term and oncological outcomes for right colon cancer patients.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This study is a prospective single-arm clinical study. 37 patients with right colon cancer undergoing laparoscopic right hemicolectomy with transrectal specimen extraction are planned to be included in the study. The purpose of this study is to investigate the preliminary surgical outcomes of laparoscopic right hemicolectomy with transrectal specimen extraction. The primary endpoint is the postoperative complications of this type of natural orifice specimen extraction surgery (NOSES). The primary hypothesis is that NOSES could reduce postoperative complications. In addition, operating time, intraoperative bleeding, post-operative recovery and quality of life (QoL) are secondary endpoints.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Laparoscopic Right Hemicolectomy With Transrectal Specimen Extraction

STEP 1: Dissection and separation The mesentery and vessels were dissected and separated according to the principle of complete mesocolic excision.

STEP 2: Intracorporeal anastomosis An enterotomy was performed on the antimesenteric side of the ileum at the edge of the staple line. This maneuver was replicated on the transverse colic side. Subsequently, the cartridge jaw of the stapler was inserted into the transverse colon. The stapler was fired and withdrawn, and the common enterotomy was sealed by using another linear stapler.

STEP 3: Transrectal specimen extraction A longitudinal incision was made on the anterior of wall of the upper rectum. The assistant employed oval forceps to extract the specimen along with the protective sleeve through the incision in the upper rectum. After the complete extraction of the specimen, a full-layer running suturing was performed to close the incision.
