Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the clinical value of stylized laparoscopic hemicolec-tomy for left colon cancer.Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 174 patients who underwent laparoscopic hemicolectomy for left colon cancer in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2016 to December 2020 were collected. There were 106 males and 68 females, aged 59(range, 17?86)years. All patients underwent stylized laparoscopic hemicolectomy for left colon cancer. Observation indicators: (1) surgical situations; (2) postoperative complications; (3) postoperative histopathological examinations; (4) follow-up. Follow-up was conducted using outpatient examination or telephone interview to detect tumor recurrence and metastasis and survival of patients up to October 2021. Follow-up was performed once every 3 months within postoperative 2 years, once every 6 months within postoperative 2 to 5 years and once a year after postoperative 5 years, with the end point as tumor recurrence and metastasis or death of patients. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean±SD and measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range) or M( Q1, Q3). Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages. Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw survival curve and calculate survival rate. Results:(1) Surgical situations. All the 174 patients underwent stylized laparoscopic hemicolectomy for left colon cancer successfully, including 6 cases receiving preoperative enteral stent placement due to bowel obstruc-tion, 3 cases receiving defunctioning ileostomy and 1 case receiving Hartmann procedure. The operation time, volume of intraoperative blood loss, time to postoperative initial defecation and duration of postoperative hospital stay of the 174 patients were 97(80,106)minutes, 45(25,60)mL, 5(3,6)days and 7(6,8)days, respectively. (2) Postoperative complications. Twelve of the 174 patients had complications, including 4 cases with incision infection or fat liquefaction, 3 cases with anastomotic leakage, 2 cases with incomplete bowel obstruction, 1 case with abdominal hemo-rrhage, 1 case with chylous leakage and 1 case with pulmonary infection. The 2 cases with anastomotic leakage underwent ileostomy. The patient with abdominal hemorrhage underwent laparotomy to stop bleeding. One elder patient died of postoperative pulmonary infection. The other patients with complications recovered with conservative treatment. (3) Postoperative histopatho-logical examinations. Of the 174 patients, there were 27 cases in stage Ⅰ of TNM staging, 68 cases in stage Ⅱ, 77 cases in stage Ⅲ and 2 cases in stage Ⅳ. There were 9 cases with well differentiated tumor, 107 cases with moderately differentiated tumor and 58 cases with poorly differentiated tumor. The number of lymph node detected, the number of positive lymph node and tumor diameter of the 174 patients were 19(15,23), 0(0,2) and 4(3,5)cm, respectively. Of the 174 patients, there were 79 cases with lymph node metastases, 21 cases with cancerous nodules, 35 cases with vascular invasion and 29 cases with nerve invasion. (4) Follow-up. Of the 174 patients, 157 cases were followed up for 27(range, 1?70)months. Of the 157 patients who conducted follow-up, 20 cases had tumor metastasis, including 9 cases with multiple metastasis, 5 cases with liver metastasis, 4 cases with lung metastasis, 1 case with bone metastasis and 1 case with spleen metastasis. The 5-year overall survival rate and tumor free survival rate of the 157 patients were 90.9% and 80.8%, respectively.Conclusion:The stylized laparoscopic hemicolectomy for left colon cancer is safe and feasible.
