Purpose

The purpose of this study was to look at our complication rates and recurrence rates, as well as the need for further radical surgery, in treating patients with benign and early malignant rectal tumors by using transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM).

Methods

Our study included 130 patients who had undergone TEM for rectal adenomas and early rectal cancer from December 2009 to December 2015 at the Department of Surgical Oncology, National Cancer Institute, Lithuania. Patients underwent digital and endoscopic evaluation with multiple biopsies. For preoperative staging, pelvic magnetic resonance imaging or endorectal ultrasound was performed. We recorded the demographics, operative details, final pathologies, postoperative lengths of hospital stay, postoperative complications, and recurrences.

Results

The average tumor size was 2.8 ± 1.5 cm (range, 0.5–8.3 cm). 102 benign (78.5%) and 28 malignant tumors (21.5%) were removed. Of the latter, 23 (82.1%) were pT1 cancers and 5 (17.9%) pT2 cancers. Of the 5 patients with pT2 cancer, 2 underwent adjuvant chemoradiotherapy, 1 underwent an abdominoperineal resection, 1 refused further treatment and 1 was lost to follow up. No intraoperative complications occurred. In 7 patients (5.4%), postoperative complications were observed: urinary retention (4 patients, 3.1%), postoperative hemorrhage (2 patients, 1.5%), and wound dehiscence (1 patient, 0.8%). All complications were treated conservatively. The mean postoperative hospital stay was 2.3 days.

Conclusion

TEM in our experience demonstrated low complication and recurrence rates. This technique is recommended for treating patients with a rectal adenoma and early rectal cancer and has good prognosis.

AbstractAbstract PDF
PURPOSE
Curative local excision of the rectal cancer had been advocated by many surgeons over the standard abdominoperineal resection (APR) for lower rectal cancer due to its low complication rate and improved quality of life. The aim of this study was to evaluate the result of the local excision for rectal cancer.
METHOD
We prospectively analyzed 31 rectal cancer patients (including 2 patients of carcinoid tumor) who were suitable indication for local excision between Oct. 1993 and Dec. 1998 at Mokdong Hospital.
RESULTS
The age of the patients ranged from 39 to 81 years (>60 years: 77.8%) while sex ratio was 1:5 (M:F). Of 31 patients, 29 patients were located below 4 cm from anal verge. Other two were in between 7 cm and 10 cm from the anal verge. The tumor size ranged from 0.7 cm to 5 cm, most commonly within 3 cm. Invasion depth by tumor were as follows: 12 patients in mucosa; 7 patients in submucosa; 4 patients in inner muscle layer; 6 patients in outer muscle layer; and 2 patients in whole layer. Ten patients had well-differentiated tumors and 17 patients had moderately differentiated tumors, while one patient had mucinous histologic type. Seventy percent of patients with muscular layer invasion received adjuvant radiation therapy. Six patients received oral chemotherapeutic agent and 4 received immunopotentiator. During the follow-up period (mean: 18.4 months, range: 1~54 months), no local recurrence was found in the patients who were operated under curative intent.
CONCLUSION
We concluded that this method can be favorabe choice for the treatment of early rectal cancer without lymph node involvement if strict indication of the local excision for rectal cancer could be applied.
