AP-NOSES: A Prospective Multicentre Registry of Natural Orifice Specimen Extraction in Minimally Invasive Colorectal Surgery (AP-NOSES)

22 maj 2026 uppdaterad av: Isaac Seow En, Singapore General Hospital

AP-NOSES: A Prospective, Multicentre Registry of Natural Orifice Specimen Extraction in Minimally Invasive Colorectal Surgery Across the Asia-Pacific Region

Natural orifice specimen extraction (NOSE) is a minimally invasive colorectal surgical technique in which the surgical specimen is removed through a natural orifice, including transanal or transvaginal routes, thereby avoiding an abdominal extraction incision. Observational studies suggest that NOSE may reduce wound-related morbidity and improve postoperative recovery, but prospective multicenter data evaluating long-term outcomes remain limited.

AP-NOSES is a prospective, multicenter observational registry evaluating clinical, patient-reported, and long-term wound outcomes following minimally invasive colorectal surgery with NOSE or transabdominal specimen extraction. The primary objective is to compare time to incisional hernia within 24 months between NOSE-eligible patients undergoing planned NOSE extraction and NOSE-eligible patients undergoing planned transabdominal extraction.

Secondary objectives include evaluation of postoperative complications, extraction-related morbidity, bowel function, urinary and sexual function, oncologic outcomes, and long-term patient-reported and clinical outcomes across participating centers.

This study does not alter routine clinical care. Surgical technique, perioperative management, and follow-up are performed according to local institutional practice.

Detaljerad beskrivning

Natural orifice specimen extraction (NOSE) is an established minimally invasive colorectal surgical technique that enables removal of the surgical specimen through transanal or transvaginal routes while avoiding an abdominal specimen extraction incision. Existing retrospective studies and meta-analyses suggest that NOSE may reduce postoperative pain, wound morbidity, and length of hospital stay without compromising oncologic outcomes. However, prospective multicenter data evaluating long-term abdominal wall outcomes and patient-reported outcomes remain limited.

Incisional hernia is a common long-term complication following colorectal surgery and is closely associated with the abdominal extraction site. By avoiding an abdominal extraction incision, NOSE may reduce extraction-site morbidity and long-term incisional hernia risk. AP-NOSES was designed to prospectively evaluate these outcomes in a multicenter setting using predefined eligibility criteria and a concurrent comparator cohort.

AP-NOSES is a prospective observational multicenter registry coordinated by Singapore General Hospital. Consecutive adult patients undergoing elective minimally invasive colorectal resection with planned intact specimen extraction are eligible for enrollment. Participating centers include tertiary colorectal units within the Asia-Pacific region.

The primary comparative analysis is conducted within a predefined NOSE-eligible cohort. Exposure groups are defined according to planned specimen extraction strategy:

  1. Planned NOSE extraction (transanal or transvaginal), and
  2. Planned transabdominal extraction among patients meeting protocol NOSE eligibility criteria.

Planned and achieved extraction routes, reasons for non-performance of NOSE, operative details, postoperative complications, and oncologic outcomes are prospectively recorded.

The primary outcome is time to incisional hernia within 24 months following index colorectal surgery.

Secondary outcomes include postoperative complications, extraction-site morbidity, surgical site infection, readmission, reoperation, pathologic outcomes, patient-reported quality-of-life and functional outcomes, bowel function, urinary and sexual function in selected patients, and oncologic outcomes including recurrence and disease-free survival.

Patient-reported outcomes are assessed using validated instruments including EQ-5D-5L, Body Image Scale (BIS), Low Anterior Resection Syndrome (LARS) score, International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), International Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5), and Female Sexual Function Index-6 (FSFI-6), where applicable.

This study is observational and does not mandate changes to standard surgical or postoperative management. Data are entered into a secure centralized REDCap database using coded study identifiers.
