Transanal Total Mesorectal Excision vs Robotic Total Mesorectal Excision (TaLaR03)
10 juin 2026 mis à jour par: Yanhong Deng, Sun Yat-sen University
A Prospective, Randomized, Parallel-Controlled, Superiority Clinical Study Comparing Transanal Total Mesorectal Excision (taTME) and Robot-Assisted Total Mesorectal Excision (RTME) in the Treatment of Low Rectal Cancer
TME remains standard treatment for rectal cancer.
Both Robotic TME and taTME are innovative surgical techniques with potential advantages in low rectal cancer.
To date, no clinical studies have directly compared the conversion and complication rates between taTME and RTME in this population.
Therefore, the investigators propose to conduct a prospective, randomized, parallel-controlled clinical trial comparing taTME with RTME for low rectal cancer, aiming to provide high-level evidence for surgical decision-making and benefit more patients.

Description détaillée
Both RTME and taTME are innovative surgical techniques with potential advantages in low rectal cancer.
Intraoperative conversion rate is a key safety metric.
In low rectal cancer, changes in surgical approach not only affect resection outcomes but also sphincter preservation.To date, no clinical studies have directly compared the conversion and complication rates between taTME and RTME in this population.
Therefore, the investigators propose to conduct a prospective, randomized, parallel-controlled clinical trial comparing taTME with RTME for low rectal cancer, aiming to provide high-level evidence for surgical decision-making and benefit more patients.
The primary indicator in this study is intraoperative conversion rate.
Definition in each group as follows: During transanal total mesorectal excision (taTME), if the procedure cannot be completed due to difficulty in transanal operation, conversion to open abdominal surgery is required to complete TME resection, allowing better operative access, organ preservation, and tumor clearance.
During robot-assisted total mesorectal excision (rTME), if the transabdominal approach fails to achieve bowel transection or digestive reconstruction, conversion to transanal or open abdominal surgery is required to complete the procedure, ensuring operability, organ preservation, and tumor clearance.

Comparateur actif: robotic TME
For patients with low rectal cancer, the da Vinci multi-arm robotic system is used to perform total mesorectal excision (TME).
The procedure includes vascular ligation, mesenteric mobilization, distal bowel transection beyond the tumor, and anastomosis, all completed transabdominally with robotic assistance.
|
This study is designed to investigate the safety and superiority of transanal total mesorectal excision (taTME) in the treatment of rectal cancer compared with robot-assisted total mesorectal excision (rTME)
|
|
Expérimental: taTME
For patients with low rectal cancer, a combined transanal and transabdominal approach is used to complete the total mesorectal excision (TME).
A purse-string suture is placed approximately 1 cm below the distal tumor margin, followed by insertion of a single-port device.
The mesorectum is then mobilized from bottom to top.
Vascular ligation is performed laparoscopically via the abdominal approach.
The two teams (transanal and transabdominal) meet near the peritoneal reflection.

3-year disease-free survival (DFS)
Délai: three years after the operation
|
3-Year DFS (Disease-Free Survival) refers to the proportion of patients who remain alive and free from any signs or recurrence of the disease for three years following surgical removal of the primary tumor.
|
three years after the operation
|
|
3-Year OS
Délai: 3 years after the operation
|
3-Year OS (Overall Survival) refers to the percentage of patients who remain alive for three years following a surgical procedure, regardless of the cause of death or the status of the disease.
The survival time is typically calculated from the date of surgery to the date of death from any cause.
Patients who are alive at the three-year mark-whether they are disease-free, have experienced a recurrence, or are receiving other treatments-are counted as survivors
|
3 years after the operation
|
|
operative time
Délai: 1 day after the operation
|
Operative time refers to the total duration measured from the initial surgical incision to the completion of wound closure.
It typically includes all intraoperative procedures, such as dissection, resection (e.g., tumor removal), reconstruction, hemostasis, and placement of drains or implants, but excludes anesthesia induction, positioning, prepping, draping, and recovery room time
