经肛门内镜微创手术治疗直肠肿瘤

目的:比较相同适应证下经肛门内镜微创手术(transanal endoscopic microsurgery,TEM)和传统手术治疗直肠肿瘤的效果。方法:回顾分析63例直肠原发距肛缘4cm以上的良性肿瘤和T2期前恶性肿瘤患者的临床资料。2005年3月至2007年3月为34例患者行传统手术,包括经肛门局部切除术、Kraske术、Dixon术;2007年3月至2009年3月为29例患者行TEM手术。结果:两组患者年龄、性别、疾病种类和肿瘤分期具有可比性,TEM组和传统手术组肿瘤直径(2.4cm vs.2.35cm,P=0.983)和肿瘤距肛门距离(8.0cm vs.7.0cm,P=0.296)差异无统计学意义。TEM组手术时间(58min vs.77.5min,P=0.044)、出血量(10ml vs.80ml,P0.001)、术后进食时间(1d vs.2d,P0.001)、术后住院时间(3d vs.5d,P0.001)和应用止痛药(0mg vs.10mg,P0.001)等方面优于传统手术组。两组短期并发症(2 vs.7,P=0.235)差异无统计学意义;TEM组在17个月的中位随访过程中未发现肿瘤复发,传统手术组中位随访40个月,2例(5.9%)复发。两组均无肿瘤相关死亡病例。结论:在把握适应证的前提下,TEM是治疗直肠肿瘤的有效方法。同传统手术相比,TEM具有患者创伤轻、住院时间短和并发症少等优点。     

Transanal endoscopic microsurgery for upper rectal tumors

Background

Compared with traditional rectal resection, transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) is faster and safer. This retrospective study sought to assess the efficacy of TEM for lesions located in the upper rectum, ≥10 cm from the anal verge.

Methods

Data from all patients who underwent TEM for rectal lesions ≥10 cm from the anal verge between 2001 and 2010 at two medical centers in Israel were retrospectively analyzed. The study group comprised 96 patients (57 men, 39 women) who underwent 99 TEM procedures. Collected data included patient demographics, tumor characteristics, indications for surgery, operative findings and details, postoperative outcomes, and histopathologic findings. Long-term outcomes including local recurrence (LR) for benign lesions and LR and overall survival (OS) for malignant lesions were calculated. Categorical variables were calculated by frequency tables, and linear variables were represented by averages and standard deviation or median with the spread of variables. Survival and LR analysis was performed by Kaplan–Meier and Cox regression methods.

Results

The mean tumor distance from the  anal verge was  11.3 ± 2 cm and the median tumor size was 2 cm. Early postoperative outcomes were favorable, and no early postoperative mortality was reported. The postoperative morbidity rate was 10 %. For long-term outcomes, in the subgroup with benign lesions, after a median follow-up of 8.7 years, the LR rate was 5.1 %. In the group with malignant lesions, LR and OS rates were 6.9 and 87 %, respectively.

Conclusions

TEM for upper rectal lesions is feasible and may be safe in selected cases. Low morbidity rate, shorter operative time and length of stay, no mortality events, and favorable long-term outcomes support the use of TEM for the treatment of lesions in the upper rectum.

Transanal endoscopic microsurgery for rectal tumors: the St. Mary's experience

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study is to describe a single institution's experience in the use of transanal endoscopic microsurgery for rectal tumors. METHODS: Between 1996 and 2005, transanal endoscopic microsurgery was performed in 76 patients. The histologic diagnosis was adenoma in 48 and adenocarcinoma in 28 patients. RESULTS: Clear resection margins were achieved in 71 of 74 patients (95.9%). Overall morbidity was 18.9% because 14 patients developed minor (10 patients) or major complications (4 patients). During the follow-up, benign tumor recurrence was detected in 3 patients (6.3%). The recurrence rates among patients with T1, T2, and T3 malignant tumors were 7.1%, 42.8%, and 66.6%, respectively. COMMENTS: Transanal endoscopic microsurgery is a safe and feasible technique with low incomplete excision rates and may be the preferred method in patients with benign rectal tumors. Its role in the management of malignant tumors should be limited to selected patients with T1 lesions.     

经肛门微创外科手术在直肠癌的临床应用

相对于直肠癌根治术而言,直肠癌局部切除术具有手术创伤小、风险低、能保肛以及术后无性功能和泌尿功能障碍等优点。经肛门内镜微创手术（TEM）是近年来国际上较为盛行的一种直肠癌局部切除技术．同传统的局部切除术相比．TEM具有优良的术野显露和宽敞的操作空间,更配有制造精良、性能优越的多种手术器械,为外科医师在术中精细的组织解剖、精准的肿瘤切除、降低和避免肿瘤切缘不足或切缘阳性提供了极佳的手术条件和技术上的保障。术前准确评估、仔细遴选病例以及严格掌握手术指征是获得良好疗效的基础。TEM最佳的适应证为直肠腺瘤高级别瘤变（Tis期）、T1期中低危组直肠癌以及癌仅侵及sm1和sin2的患者。经过新辅助治疗后降期明显（肿块缩小大于50％者）的T,期和L期直肠癌也可进入TEM的研究性治疗。TEM术中对病灶行局部根治性切除是预防肿瘤术后复发的关键。     

单孔腹腔镜辅助下经肛低位直肠癌全直肠系膜切除术

经肛全直肠系膜切除术(TaTME)已成为近年来直肠癌手术领域的新热点。由于完全经肛门TaTME手术技术目前尚不成熟,操作难度大;而传统多孔腹腔镜辅助的TaTME微创优势不明显,本录像阐述在预定回肠造口位置置入单孔腹腔镜进行辅助的TaTME术,术者认为该术式可达到降低技术难度、微创和标本切除质量三者间的最佳平衡。     

Transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS) for rectal cancer

Transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS) is a technique that allows high quality local excision of benign rectal neoplasms and early-stage rectal cancers. These lesions can be located more proximal that those treated with conventional transanal excision. Operative costs are minimized and access to the technique is expanded with utilization of conventional laparoscopic instruments. Good oncologic outcomes can be achieved for local excision of early rectal cancers, but its role in the surgical treatment of more advanced tumors is still being evaluated. As with all surgical techniques, appropriate training must be ensured and continued assessment of oncologic outcomes maintained.     

Transanal minimally invasive surgery for benign and malignant rectal neoplasia

Background

Transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS), an alternative technique to transanal endoscopic microsurgery, was developed in 2009. Herein, we describe our initial experience using TAMIS for benign and malignant rectal neoplasia.

Methods

This is an institutional review board approved, retrospective case series report.

Results

TAMIS was performed in 32 patients for rectal adenoma (13), adenocarcinoma (16), and carcinoid (3). There were 14 women, with mean age 62 ± 15 years and body mass index 28 ± 5 kg/m². Lesion size ranged from .5 to 8.5 cm, distance from the dentate line 1 to 11 cm, and circumference of the lesion 10% to 100%. The mean operative time was 123 ± 62 minutes. Mean hospital length of stay was 2.5 ± 2 days. Complications included urinary tract infection (1), Clostridium difficile diarrhea (1), atrial fibrillation (1), rectal stenosis (1), and rectal bleeding (1).

Conclusion

TAMIS using a disposable transanal access platform is a safe and effective method to remove rectal lesions in this case series.     

经肛门内镜微创手术治疗直肠上皮内瘤变和早期直肠癌

目的探讨经肛门内镜微创手术（TEM）治疗直肠上皮内瘤变（IN）和早期直肠癌的临床价值。方法选择15例直肠肿瘤患者采用TEM行局部切除术。根据活检病理结合直肠腔内超声检查（EUS）术前诊断低级别IN8例，高级别IN4例，早期直肠癌3例。肿瘤距肛缘的距离4—15（平均7．2）cm，肿瘤直径1—4（平均1．8）cm，肿瘤占据肠腔周径比例10％～40％（平均20％）。结果15例直肠肿瘤均获完整切除（黏膜下切除5例，全层切除10例），各切缘均阴性。手术时间为40．90（平均57）min；术中出血量为10-60（平均35）ml。术后住院时间为2-9（平均4．5）d。术后病理确诊：直肠低级别IN5例，高级别IN6例，早期黏膜下浸润癌（pT1期）和进展期癌（pT2期）各2例。术前EUS评估肿瘤浸润肠壁深度的准确率为86．7％（13／15）。15例术后随访2．10（平均6）个月，肿瘤无局部复发。结论TEM微创、显露良好、切除精确、能获取高质量的肿瘤标本用于准确的病理分期，是治疗直肠IN和早期直肠癌的理想术式。术前EUS检查对TEM病例的选择十分重要。

Transanal endoscopic microsurgery and radical surgery for T1 and T2 rectal cancer

Background: Transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) has gained increasing acceptance as a local treatment of early rectal cancer. The purpose of this study was to compare the results of TEM and radical surgery in patients with T1 and T2 rectal cancer. Methods: From October 1994 to December 2000, 74 patients with T1 and T2 rectal adenocarcinoma treated with TEM were compared with 100 patients with T1N0M0 and T2N0M0 rectal adenocarcinoma treated with radical surgery. Retrospective analysis was performed regarding to recurrence and survival rate. Neither group received adjuvant chemoradiation. There was no significant difference in age, gender, tumor location, or follow-up period between the two groups. The only difference was in tumor size. Results: Of the 74 patients in TEM group, 52 were T1 (70.3%) and 22 were T2 (29.7%). Of the 100 patients in radical surgery group, 17 were T1 (17%) and 83 patients were T2 (83%). The 5-year local recurrence rates were 4.1% for T1, 19.5% for T2 after TEM, 0% for T1, and 9.4% for T2 after radical surgery. There was no statistical difference between the TEM and radical surgery groups for T1 rectal cancer (p = 0.95), but for T2 rectal cancer, the 5-year local recurrence rate was higher after TEM than after radical surgery (p = 0.04). There were no significant statistical difference between the two groups in terms of the 5-year disease-free survival rate and the survival rate. Conclusions: For T1 rectal cancer, there was no difference in recurrence or 5-year survival rate between the TEM and the radical surgery groups. For T2 rectal cancer, there was no statistical difference in the 5-year survival rate between the two groups, but TEM carried higher risk of local recurrence. Therefore, careful selection of the patients is required for TEM, and when proper muscle invasion is proven, the TEM procedure should be supplemented by further treatment, or radical surgery should be performed.

Transanal endoscopic microsurgery in the treatment of select rectal cancers or tumors suspicious for cancer

Background: This study describes a personal experience with the use of transanal endoscopic microsurgery to facilitate surgical access, and to determine the ability of this technique to reduce the need for major abdominal procedure and prevent the need for a temporary or permanent colostomy in select patients with known or suspected rectal cancer. Methods: The subjects of this study were 43 patients with rectal cancer or tumors who had a high likelihood of malignancy. The 24 men and 19 women comprised two groups: patients with known cancer (n = 16) and patients with tumors suspicious for cancer (n = 27), six of whom proved to have invasive malignancy. The tumors ranged in size from 1 to 7 cm (average, 3.5 cm). The tumors inferior level in the rectum ranged from –1 to 21 cm (average, 6.5 cm). Eleven patients known to have rectal cancer were treated with preoperative radiation or chemoradiation. By ordinary standards, 22 patients would have received an abdominal perineal resection; 14 patients would have qualified for abdominal sphincter–preserving operations; and 7 patients were indeterminate. Full-thickness local excisions were disk excisions (n = 23), hemicircumferential excisions (n = 19), and sleeve resection (n = 1). The ages of the patients ranged from 30 to 91 years (average, 66.7 years). Results: In this study, 90% avoided a major abdominal operation (39/43), and 90% avoided an abdominal perineal resection of the patients (20/22). The complications were as follows: mortality (n = 10), morbidity (n = 9), minor wound separation (n = 6), and major wound separation (n = 3). Two of these complications were rectovaginal fistulas: the one in a 91-year-old patient who presented with a fistula and the other in a 77-year-old patient who presented with a previously irradiated and incompletely excised cancer. A single instance of locally recurrent cancer required an abdominal perineal resection. There were no other recurrences. Overall, three patients required a stoma (7%). Conclusion: Transanal endoscopic microsurgery promises to offer a safe and effective option for the selective treatment of patients with rectal cancer after preoperative chemoirradiation, and for the management of tumors suspicious for rectal cancer. Transanal endoscopic microsurgery used selectively can reduce the need for major abdominal surgery and colostomy.     

Transanal endoscopic microsurgery for T1 rectal cancer: size matters!

Background  

Transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) is considered a curative option for selected T1 rectal cancer. Although TEM is safe, local recurrence (LR) rates after TEM are unacceptably high. Evidence on selection criteria, however, is not abundant. To expand evidence on low- versus high-risk T1 rectal cancer with respect to LR, this study aimed to identify predictive histopathologic factors in a selected group of T1 rectal cancers treated with TEM only.

经肛门内镜微创手术在治疗局限性直肠肿瘤中的应用

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) for localized rectal neoplasms. Methods Seventy-five patients with localized rectal neoplasms were treated by using TEM between April 2006 and December 2008. The clinical data was summarized and analyzed retrospectively to report the therapeutic effect of TEM in these cases. Results The mean diameter of the rectal lesions was (1.6 ± 0.8) cm (range, 0.5-5.0 cm). The average distance of lesions from the anal verge was (7.6 ± 2.8) cm (range, 5-20 cm). Locations of the lesions at the rectal wall : 25 located at the anterior wall, 24 at the posterior wall, 14 at the left wall and 12 at the right walL Surgical procedures included the transmural excision (64 cases) and the submucosal excision with partial muscular layer excision (11 cases) was performed. The average operating time was (73.7±32.1) win (range, 30-180 min). The mean operative blood loss was (9. 8 ± 7.7) ml (range, 3-50 ml). The postoperative pathological examination identified 28 cases of rectal adenoma, 25 rectal adenocarcinoma or carcinomatous changes of adenoma (14 cases with phase Tis tumor, 5 cases T1 and 6 cases T2), 7 rectal carcinoid and 15 cases of inflammatory polyps or others. Surgical margins of all specimens were negative. Postoperative complications occurred in 4 cases (5.3%), included 2 cases of anal hemorrhage, 1 case of pulmonary infection and 1 urinary infection. The average postoperative hospital stay was (3.4 ± 1.2) d (range, 2-7 d). All the patients were followed-up for a mean period of 8.4 months (range, 3-26 months), no tumor recurrence or metastasis was observed. Conclusion Being a kind of minimally invasive surgery, TEM shows advantages of decreased blood loss, better therapeutic effect and faster recovery, and it is a better choice of procedure for local excision for rectal neoplasms.
