Single-incision Plus One Port Laparoscopic Total Mesorectal Excision and Bilateral Pelvic Node Dissection for Advanced Rectal Cancer—A Medial Umbilical Ligament Approach
2015
We prove the safety and feasibility of single-incision plus 1 port (SILS+1) laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (TME) + lateral pelvic lymph node dissection (LPLD) via a medial umbilical approach for rectal cancer. Only a few reports have been published about single-incision multiport laparoscopic low anterior resection with LPLD. Recently, minimally invasive surgery such as single-incision plus 1 port (SILS + 1) for advanced rectal cancer has been reported as safe and feasible. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of SILS + 1 used for LPLD. A wound protector was inserted through a 30-mm transumbilical incision. Next, a single-port access device was mounted to the wound protector and 3 ports (5 mm each) were placed. A 12-mm port was inserted in the right lower quadrant. Super-low anterior resection of the rectum and bilateral LPLD and temporary ileostomy were performed with SILS + 1, with a blood loss of 50 mL and a total surgical time of 525 minutes. The time for right lateral dissection ...
