Overview
Brief Summary
This is a phase 2a clinical trial based on the IDEAL framework to evaluate the safety, feasibility and clinical efficacy of single-port robotic transanal total mesorectal excision (SPr-taTME )surgery. For safety, intraoperative adverse events and 30-day morbidity. For efficacy, successful completion of predefined procedural steps without conversion. The transanal surgical platform consists of a single-port robotic system, while the transabdominal approach can be performed laparoscopically or with single-port robotic assistance.
Detailed Description
The study assessed the intraoperative adverse events (device-related and/or procedure-related), postoperative complications, perioperative recovery outcomes, surgical specimen quality, and pathological indices of SPr-taTME in the treatment of mid-to-low rectal cancer.
Investigators
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •(1) Mid or low rectal cancer, 0-10 cm from the anal verge (MRI definition); (2) Histological biopsy showing adenocarcinoma; (3) Stage I-III (MRI and abdominal CT), including the downstaged after neoadjuvant therapy; (4) Intention for primary anastomosis; (5) Obtain the informed consent of the patient and his family; (6) Suitable for robotic or laparoscopic surgery. (7) Over 18 years old.
Exclusion Criteria
- •T3 tumour with margins less than 1 mm to the mesorectal fascia or T4 tumour, determined by MRI-scan (staged after (chemo)radiotherapy if applicable) ;
- •The anal sphincter complex or levator anal muscle is involved;
- •Previous prostate or rectal surgery (excluding local excision) ;
- •Emergency surgery was performed due to complications of a rectal tumor;
- •Malignancy other than adenocarcinoma at histological examination;
- •Signs of acute intestinal obstruction;
- •Multiple colorectal tumours;
- •Familial Adenomatosis Polyposis Coli (FAP), Hereditary Non-Polyposis Colorectal Cancer (HNPCC), active Crohn's disease or active ulcerative colitis;
- •Planned synchronous abdominal organ resections;
- •Other malignancies in medical history, except adequately treated basocellular carcinoma of the skin or in situ carcinoma of the cervix uteri;
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Intraoperative adverse events and 30-day postoperative complications
Time Frame: Intraoperative and postoperative 30 days
Intraoperative adverse events (device and/or procedure-related). Events were recorded as Preferred Term and classified under System Organ Class as per MedDRA Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) coding guidelines (https://evs.nci.nih.gov/ftp1/CTCAE/About.html). Postoperative complications will refer to any medical occurrence directly attributed to the surgical procedure within the first 30 days.
Conversion rate
Time Frame: Intraoperative
Conversion to open or laparotomy surgery due to intraoperative complications , technical difficulties, or inability to successfully complete predefined procedural steps .
Secondary Outcomes
- Quality of specimen (as proposed and published by Quirke et al)(7 days after surgery)
- Operative time(Date of surgery (Day 1))
