No results posted yet for this study

Summary

To compare the two surgical options in their short-term and long term outcomes in the management of early left-sided colorectal cancers. The hypothesis is that the incisionless approach will result in less postoperative pain and wound related complications.

Conditions

  • Pain,
  • Postoperative Wound Complication

Interventions

PROCEDURE

incisionless laparoscopic colectomy

Arm 1:Incisionless Laparoscopic Colectomy Laparoscopic colectomy is being performed in the same manner as conventional laparoscopic colectomy, except that at the end of procedure, the TEO device with the outer diameter of 4cm is inserted into the anus for the delivery of specimen and insertion of anvil instead of creating a small wound as in the conventional laparoscopic colectomy. Finally, intra-corporeal anastomosis is performed in the same manner with the TEO device removed.

PROCEDURE

conventional laparoscopic colectomy

Arm 2: Conventional Laparoscopic colectomy The operation is completed by laparoscopic instruments using video laparoscopy. At the end of the procedure, pneumoperitoneum is abolished and a small wound was created for the delivery of bowel and insertion of anvil of the circular stapler. Finally, pneumoperitoneum is re-created for intra-corporeal anastomosis
