Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery for Colorectal Cancer (NOTES)

March 22, 2017 updated by: Islam Hany Metwally, Mansoura University
The purpose of this study is to assess different hybrid natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery techniques in management of colorectal cancer as regard: feasibility of the technique, short term oncologic outcome and functional outcome.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Intervention will be done by conventional laparoscopy and transanal endoscopy (TEO or Gelpoint platform), patients are divided into two arms to compare different natural orifice techniques in resection of colorectal cancer.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients with American Society of Anesthesiologist (ASA) score 4 and 5.
  2. Patients with cardiac or chest problems that cannot withstand insufflation.
  3. Unresectable tumors (defined as those who cannot be resected without a high likelihood of leaving microscopic or gross residual disease at the local site because of tumor adherence or fixation).
  4. Obstructed or perforated cancer.
  5. Patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.
  6. Incontinent patients.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Natural orifice specimen extraction
Conventional laparoscopic resection of colorectal cancer with natural orifice specimen extraction
Conventional laparoscopic resection of colorectal cancer is done then specimen is extracted through natural orifice (anal or vaginal orifice).
Experimental: Laparoendoscopic resection
Laparoscopic assisted transanal endoscopic resection of rectal cancer

Endoscopic phase: Transanal platform is inserted into the rectum, and pneumorectum is established. The lumen is occluded below the level of the tumor. The avascular ''oncologic'' presacral plane is entered posteriorly, and dissection proceeds cephalad in the total mesorectal excision planes. Next, the abdominal cavity is entered at the peritoneal reflection. The superior rectal artery is divided. The rectal stump then is reflected into the abdominal cavity, and retrograde dissection is performed until the procedure is limited by instrument length.

Laparoscopic phase: Colon mobilization, lymph node dissection, and mesenteric excision are performed laparoscopically. Mobilization of the splenic flexure is done if needed.
