Objective To investigate the risk factors of liver metastasis in patients with middle and low rectal cancer of Ⅱ–Ⅲ stage after preoperative short course radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy. MethodsThe clinical data of 89 patients with middle and low rectal cancer of Ⅱ–Ⅲ stage admitted to the Dongnan Hospital of Xiamen University from January 2019 to June 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were treated with short-course radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy before operation. The risk factors of postoperative liver metastasis were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression. ResultsThe 89 patients were followed up for 7–53 months, with a median follow-up time of 33 months. During the follow-up period, 25 patients developed liver metastasis, the onset time was 7–35 months, and the median time of liver metastasis was 17 months. Among them, 5 patients (5.6%) developed liver metastasis in the first year after surgery, 15 patients (16.8%) developed liver metastasis at the second year after surgery, 5 patients (5.6%) developed liver metastasis at the 3rd year after surgery. Multivariate logistic regression results showed that lymph node metastasis [OR=3.550, 95%CI (1.425, 8.953), P=0.041], vascular invasion [OR=3.335, 95%CI (1.011, 11.001), P=0.048], maximum tumor diameter ≥5 cm [OR=4.477, 95%CI (1.273, 15.743), P=0.019], and peri-tumor diameter ≥1/2 [OR=4.633, 95%CI (1.387, 15.475), P=0.013] were risk factors for liver metastasis. ConclusionsLymph node metastasis, vascular invasion, maximum tumor diameter ≥5 cm, and circumferential tumor diameter ≥1/2 are risk factors for liver metastasis in patients with middle and low rectal cancer of Ⅱ–Ⅲ stage after preoperative short course radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy.
Objective To approach the curative effect of laparoscopic rectum resection combined with per anus intersphincteric rectal dissection and colo anal anastomosis for patients with ultra-low rectal cancer. Methods Thirteen patients were prospectively studied from June 2005 to December 2007. There were 8 male and 5 female patients, with a mean age of 53 (range, 41-69) years. All the tumors located less than 5 cm above the anal verge. All the patients were treated with general anaesthesia and then went through the following procedures: lied the reverse Trendelenburg reforming lithotomy position, the laparoscope went inside the abdomen through two apertures, the hylus aperture (observing aperture) and the McBurney point aperture (main performing aperture). After the resection through the laparoscope, the operation was translocated to the perineal region, the anus was enlarged to expose the operation area. Results The operation on all cases succeeded, there was no operative mortality, and no stomal leak in all patients. The follow-up duration ranged from 1 to 30 months (mean 17 months). Up to now, one patient developed recurrence in pelvic cavity, and one suffered hepatic metastasis, there was no port-site implantation metastasis， 9 patients had satisfactory functional recovery of anus in the sixth month after operation. Conclusion The therapy laparoscopic rectum resection combined with per anus intersphincteric rectal dissection and colo-anal anastomosis for patients with ultra-low rectal cancer is a safe, minimally invasive, anal-preserving technique with reliablity in curative effect and satisfaction in anal sphincter function.
ObjectiveTo investigate risk factors of anastomotic fistula after total mesorectum excision (TME) in middle and low rectal cancer. MethodsThe clinical data of 446 patients with middle and low rectal cancer received TME surgery from June 2004 to June 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.Single-factor analysis of risk factors was used by χ2 test,multiple-factor analysis was used by logistic regression analysis. ResultsThere were 36 patients with anastomotic fistula in these 446 patients,which of 22 patients were recovered after conservative treatment,of 14 patients were recovered after colostomy.The results of single-factor analysis showed that the age>60 years,preoperative hemoglobin<110 g/L,preoperative albumin<35 g/L,accompanied with diabetes mellitus,neoadjuvant chemoradiation,distance from anasto-mosis to anus<5 cm,non-strengthen suture by hand were the risk factors of anastomotic fistula after TME in the middle and low rectal cancer (P<0.05).The results of multiple-factor analysis showed that the preoperative hemoglobin<110 g/L,preoperative albumin<35 g/L,accompanied with diabetes mellitus,neoadjuvant chemoradiation,and distance from anastomosis to anus<5 cm were the independent risk factors of anastomotic fistula after TME in the middle and low rectal cancer (P<0.05). ConclusionsRisk of anastomotic fistula after TME in middle and low rectal cancer is higher.Basic complications of patient and local conditions of anastomosis,and intraoperative factors could affect incidence of anastomotic fistula,it should be paid enough attention.In general,most of anastomotic fistula could be cured with conservative treatment,in case of conservative treatment is invalid,colostomy is feasible.

ObjectiveTo explore the causes of colon-anal anastomotic stenosis in patients with low rectal cancer after prophylactic ileostomy under complete laparoscopy. MethodsA total of 194 patients with low rectal cancer who received complete laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer combined with preventive ileostomy in our hospital from January 2020 to December 2020 were selected as the study objects, and were divided into non-stenosis group (n=136) and stenosis group (n=58) according to postoperative colon-anal anastomosis stenosis. The clinical data of the two groups were compared. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to analyze the factors affecting postoperative colon-anal anastomotic stenosis, and stepwise regression was used to evaluate the importance of each factor. The risk prediction model of postoperative colon-anal anastomotic stenosis was constructed and evaluated. ResultsIn the stenosis group, the proportion of males, tumor diameter ＞3 cm, NRS2002 score >3 points, manual anastomosis, left colic artery not preserved, anastomotic leakage, pelvic infection and patients undergoing neoadjuvant radiotherapy and neoadjuvant chemotherapy were higher than those in the non-stenosis group (P<0.05). The results of univariate logistic analysis showed that female and preserving the left colonic artery were the protective factors for postoperative colon-anal anastomotic stenosis (P<0.05), and the tumor diameter >3 cm, NRS2002 score >3 points, manual anastomosis, anastomotic leakage, pelvic infection, neoadjuvant radiotherapy and neoadjuvant chemotherapy were the risk factors for postoperative colon-anal anastomotic stenosis (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that gender, tumor diameter, NRS 2002 score, anastomotic mode, anastomotic leakage, and pelvic infection were independent influencing factors for postoperative colon-anal anastomotic stenosis (P<0.05). Stepwise regression analysis showed that the top three factors affecting postoperative colon-anal anastomotic stenosis were NRS 2002 score, gender and anastomotic leakage. Multivariate Cox risk proportional model analysis showed that the multivariate model composed of NRS 2002 score, gender and anastomotic leakage had a good consistency in the risk assessment of postoperative colon-anal anastomotic stenosis. Based on this, a risk prediction model for postoperative colon-anal anastomotic stenosis was constructed. The results of strong influence point analysis show that there are no data points in the modeling data that have a strong influence on the model parameter estimation (Cook distance <1). Receiver operating characteristic curve results showed that the model had good differentiation ability, the area under curve was 0.917, 95%CI was (0.891, 0.942). The calibration curve was approximately a diagonal line, showing that the model has good predictive power (Brier value was 0.097). The results of the clinical decision curve showed that better clinical benefits can be obtained by using the predictive model to identify the corresponding risk population and implement clinical intervention. ConclusionThe prediction model based on NRS 2002 score, gender and anastomotic fistula can effectively evaluate the risk of colon-anal anastomotic stenosis after preventive ileostomy in patients with low rectal cancer under complete laparoscopy.
Objective To study the effect of laparoscopic total mesorectal excision and per anum rectal pull-type of anastomosis on male patients with low rectal cancer. Methods The successful experiences of anus saving operation on 23 male patients with low rectal cancer were summarized. Results A laparoscopic total mesorectal excision technique was used, with the full separation of the rectum at the bottom. After pulling out the distal rectum together with the cancer from the anus, the transection of the proximal tumor was performed. The end-to-end anastomosis of rectum and descending colon was performed by tubular stapler. Anus was reserved successfully in the 23 cases. There was no left-tumor stump after surgery detected by postoperative pathological examinations, no anastomotic leakage, and no operative death. Conclusions To the relatively narrow male pelvis, laparoscopic total mesorectal excision and per anum rectal pull-through resection and anastomosis is safe and reliable for anus saving in low rectal cancer. It can simplify the operation, and raise the success rate of sphincter preserving in surgery of low rectal cancer.

Objective To evaluate short-term effect of laparoscopic and open Miles operations for lower rectal carcinoma. Methods A total of 119 patients with lower rectal carcinoma were retrospectively collected from March 2012 to March 2017 in this hospital, among which 65 were in the laparoscopic operation group and 54 in the open operation group. The perioperative data, pathological results, recovery courses, and complications were compared between the two groups. Results Compared with the open operation group, the laparoscopic group showed a longer operation time (t=6.035, P=0.002), quicker bowel function recovery (t=4.919, P<0.001), faster off-bed activity (t=2.221, P<0.001), and shorter hospital stay time (t=3.795, P=0.025). The intraoperative blood loss (t=0.154, P=0.698) and the number of harvested lymph nodes (t=0.532, P=0.595) were similar between the two groups. The laparoscopic operation group showed a significant lower total complication rate (χ2=7.174, P=0.009) as compared with the open operation group, but the incision infection, urinary tract injury, lung infection, thrombosis of lower extremities, etc. had no significant differences between the two groups (P>0.050). Conclusion Laparoscopic Miles operation improves postoperative recovery and reduces postoperative complications as compared with open approach in treatment of lower rectal cancer, with similar oncological and short-term results.
