Role of Low Inferior Mesenteric Artery Ligation During Laparoscopic Surgery for Rectosigmoid Cancer

NCT03557528 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 120

Last updated 2018-06-15

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

During sigmoid or rectal cancer surgery, dissection of lymphnodes at the origin of inferior mesenteric artery is mandatory. Nevertheless, ligation of the origin of IMA should compromise blood supply to left colon and affect anastomosis. The aim of this retrospective evaluation is to compare high and low IMA ligation with preservation of LCA, with or without skeletonization of the origin of IMA in laparoscopic colorectal resection.

Conditions

  • Rectosigmoid Adenocarcinoma

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Laparoscopic colorectal resection

Gruop 1: laparoscopic rectosigmoid resection with standard ligation of mesenteric artery at its origin Group 2: Laparoscopic rectosigmoid resection with low ligation of inferior mesenteric artery and its skeletonization with en bloc removal of all lymph nodes
