Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the value and feasibility of preservation of the left colonic artery (LCA) in laparoscopic anterior resection for rectal cancer. Methods: The clinical data of 97 patiens who received laparoscopic anterior resection of rectal cancer from 2009.3 to 2015.3 were randomly divided into two groups, including 52 cases with preservation of LCA and 45 cases without preservation of LCA. The operation time, quantity of bleeding, number of lymph nodes removed around the root of inferior mesenteric artery (IMA), the rate of lymph node metastasis around the root of IMA, the incidence of transverse colostomy and anastomotic leak were compared between the two groups. Results: All 97 operations were successfully completed by laparoscopic operation. There were significantly statistical differences in operation time, quantity of bleeding and transverse colon stoma between two groups(P<0.05), but no difference in the number of lymph nodes removed and the rate of lymph node metastasis. Conclusions: The preservation of the left colonic artery in laparoscopic anterior resection of rectal cancer can preserve more supplying vessels for anastomosis and prevent anastomotic leak.
