Objective To explore feasibility and efficacy of laparoscopic microsurgery by transanal glove port for excision of rectal tumor. Methods Seventeen patients with rectal tumor underwent laparoscopic microsurgery by transanal glove port for local excision of rectal tumor were chosen from March 2015 to March 2016. This device was constructed by using a incision protective sleeve and standard surgical glove. The laparoscopy was used as lighting equipment. The ultrasonic scalpel, operation forceps and lens were separately inserted into the fixed sheath card from the 3 finger gloves. Results The operations of 17 cases were completed successfully. The operative time was 35–90 min with an average 54 min. The closed glove access time was 11 to 26 min with an average 18 min. The diameter of tumor was 1.4–3.5 cm with an average 2.4 cm. The results of postoperative pathology included 8 cases of villos adenemas, 3 cases of high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia, 1 case of low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia, 3 cases of carcinoid , and 2 cases of adenocarcinoma. All resection margins were negative. No infection, intestinal fistula, bleeding, and other complications were found. The hospital stay was 4–9 d with an average of 5 d. No recurrence was found during a follow-up of 1–6 months. Conclusions The preliminary results of limited cases in this study show that laparoscopic microsurgery by transanal glove port for excision of rectal tumor is easy, safe, and effective. It also provides a new choice for individualized comprhensive treatment of rectal tumor.
