Despite increasing use of robotic surgery for rectal cancer, few series have been published from the practice of generalizable US surgeons.
A retrospective chart review was performed for 71 consecutive patients who underwent robotic low anterior resection (LAR) or abdominoperineal resection (APR) for rectal adenocarcinoma between 2010 and 2014.
46 LARs (65%) and 25 APRs (35%) were identified. Median procedure time was 219 minutes (IQR 184-275) and mean blood loss 164.9 cc (SD 155.9 cc). Radial margin was negative in 70/71 (99%) patients. Total mesorectal excision integrity was complete/near complete in 38/39 (97%) of graded specimens. A mean of 16.8 (SD+/- 8.9) lymph nodes were retrieved. At median follow-up of 21.9 months, there were no local recurrences.
Robotic proctectomy for rectal cancer was introduced into typical colorectal surgery practice by a single surgeon, with a low conversion rate, low complication rate, and satisfactory oncologic outcomes.
尽管直肠肿瘤的机器人手术应用日益增多,但美国普通外科医生的实践中发表的相关系列研究较少。
对 2010 年至 2014 年间连续 71 例接受直肠腺癌机器人低位前切除术(LAR)或腹会阴切除术(APR)的患者进行回顾性图表审查。
共行 46 例 LAR(65%)和 25 例 APR(35%)。中位手术时间为 219 分钟(IQR 184-275),平均失血量为 164.9cc(SD 155.9cc)。71 例患者中有 70 例(99%)的直肠环周切缘阴性。38/39 例(97%)分级标本的全直肠系膜切除完整性完整/接近完整。平均取 16.8(SD+/-8.9)个淋巴结。中位随访 21.9 个月,无局部复发。
一名外科医生将机器人直肠切除术引入典型的结直肠手术实践中,其转化率低、并发症发生率低,且肿瘤学结果令人满意。
