Summary

To compare the open approach and the laparoscopic-assisted approach of dissection of lateral lymph nodes in low advanced rectal cancer patients with clinically suspected nodal metastases in terms of safety, technical feasibility, and patient's oncological outcomes.

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

laparoscopic-assited excision of mesorectum with pelvic lymph nodes excision

We performed laparoscopic dissection of the lateral pelvic lymph node for thirty patients while we performed open lateral pelvic lymph node dissection for the remaining thirty patients. Performed surgical approaches were abdominoperineal resection, internal sphincter resection, and low anterior resection. All performed surgical procedures included lateral pelvic lymphadenectomy in addition to performing total mesorectal excision. Choosing whether to perform unilateral or bilateral lymphadenectomy depends on lymph nodes invasion by cancer was on one side or both sides.
