Abstract
BACKGROUND Although functional end-to-end anastomosis (FEEA) using a stapler in the colorectal field has been recognised worldwide, the technique varies by surgeon, and the safety of anastomosis using different techniques is unknown. METHODS This multicentre prospective observational cohort study was conducted by the KYCC Study Group in Yokohama, Japan, and included patients who underwent colonic resection at seven centres between April 2020 and March 2022. This study compared the incidence of surgery-related abdominal complications (SAC: anastomotic leakage [AL], anastomotic bleeding, intra-abdominal abscess, enteritis, ileus, surgical site infection, and other abdominal complications) between two different methods of FEEA (one-step [OS] method: simultaneous anastomosis and bowel resection; two-step [TS] method: anastomosis after bowel resection). Complications of Clavien-Dindo classification grade 2 or higher were assessed. RESULTS Among 293 eligible cases, the OS and TS methods were used in 194 (66.2%) and 99 (33.8%) patients, respectively. The baseline characteristics were similar between the groups. The OS method used fewer staplers (three vs. four staplers, p < 0.00001). There were no significant differences in SAC rate between the OS (19.1%) and the TS (16.2%) groups (p = 0.44). The OS group had four cases (2.1%) of AL (two patients; grade 3, two patients; grade 2) while the TS group had one case (1.0%) of grade 2 AL (p = 0.67). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that male sex (odds ratio [OR] 3.95; p < 0.00001), an open surgical approach (OR 2.36; p = 0.03), and longer operative duration (OR,2.79; p = 0.002) were independent predictors of complications, whereas the OS method was not an independent predictor (OR 1.17; p = 0.66). CONCLUSIONS The OS and the TS technique for stapled colonic anastomosis in a FEEA had a similar postoperative complication rate. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER UMIN000039902 (registration date 23 March 2020).

Abstract
Totally robotic right hemicolectomy (TRRH) is a novel alternative surgical method used for the treatment of colon cancer. The aim of this study was to compare both the short-and long-term outcomes of TRRH and robotic-assisted right hemicolectomy (RARH) for the treatment of colon cancer.We performed a 1:2 matched propensity score analysis. We then retrospectively analyzed all procedures (64 cases TRRH and 128 cases RARH) carried out by a single surgeon between December 4, 2014 and June 20, 2018 at a large center. Both short-and long-term surgical outcomes were compared between 2 different groups.Based on the propensity score matching, we selected 64 patients that had undergone TRRH treatment and 128 patients who had undergone RARH treatment. The preoperative clinical-pathological characteristics were well matched between the 2 groups. We observed no significant differences between the 2 groups in postoperative pathological outcomes. The mean operative time was found to be significantly longer in the TRRH group compared to the RARH group (168.2 ± 9.1 minutes vs 153.4 ± 7.4 minutes, P = .034). The mean operative incision length was found to be significantly longer in the TRRH group than in the RARH group (4.5 ± 0.6 cm vs 6.9 ± 1.1 cm, P = .023). Postoperative pain score (visual analog scale at day 1) was found to be significantly lower in the TRRH group than in the RARH group (2.9 ± 1.3 vs 4.1 ± 2.1, P = .005). The time to pass flatus was observed to be statistically lower in the TRRH group (P = .042). We observed 3 twists of mesentery in the RARH group, while none were observed in the TRRH group (P < .050). Both the 3-year overall survival (TRRH [91.6%] vs RARH [89.2%], P = .467) and the 3-year disease-free survival (TRRH [81.4%] vs RARH [78.2%], P = .551) were determined to be comparable between the 2 groups studied here.We show that TRRH is a safe and feasible treatment option for colon cancer patients in terms of both short- and long-term outcomes. High-volume, randomized, controlled trials with sufficient follow-up studies will need to be carried out in order to confirm this rationale.

Medicine (Baltimore) 2016; 95:e5538. [PMID: 27902621 PMCID: PMC5134775 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000005538] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2016] [Revised: 10/01/2016] [Accepted: 11/10/2016] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Laparoscopic right hemicolectomy with extracorporeal anastomosis is a widely used procedure; several authors have published their approach to intracorporeal anastomosis. In this paper, we present an approach developed by us and compare short-term outcomes with those of extracorporeal anastomosis in colon cancer patients.Retrospective review of colon cancer patients treated with laparoscopic right hemicolectomy either with intracorporeal anastomosis (TLG group) or extracorporeal anastomosis (LG group) at the Zhangjiagang Hospital Affiliated to Soochow University between January 2011 and October 2015. Operative and postoperative data are compared.Around 85 patients underwent laparoscopic hemicolectomy (56 TLG and 29 LG) during the reference period for this study. Age, gender, body mass index (BMI), stage of cancer, operation time, number of lymph nodes harvested, and length of hospital stay were comparable between the 2 groups. In the TLG group, the ileocolic anastomosis time was significantly shorter (9.9-15.5 minutes vs 13.5-18.2 minutes in LG; P < 0.001), the mean intraoperative blood loss was lower (83.2 mL [range, 56.5-100.5 mL] vs 93.3 mL [range, 75.8 - 110.3 mL]; P < 0.001), the recovery of bowel function was faster (P < 0.001), and the postoperative pain score was lower (P < 0.001) as compared to that in the LG group. Complications in the LG group included wound infection (4 patients), obstruction (1), and postoperative bleeding complications (1); however, only 1 patient developed complication (wound infection) in the TLG group.Total laparoscopic right hemicolectomy with 3-step stapled intracorporeal anastomosis for colon cancer is a safe and reliable procedure. Its advantages include short anastomosis time, less intraoperative blood loss, less postoperative pain, and early bowel function recovery.

Laparoscopic right colectomy: a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies comparing two types of anastomosis. Tech Coloproctol 2013; 18:5-12. [PMID: 23686680 DOI: 10.1007/s10151-013-1029-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 53] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2013] [Accepted: 05/05/2013] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
Because of its technical difficulty, totally laparoscopic right colectomy with intracorporeal anastomosis is performed only by a small number of surgeons and most of them use a laparoscopic-assisted technique with extracorporeal anastomosis. This systematic review aims to evaluate differences in outcomes of patients undergoing right laparoscopic colectomy, either with intracorporeal or extracorporeal anastomosis. Electronic databases were searched for studies published between 1991 and 2012. Randomized controlled trials and case-control studies comparing intracorporeal to extracorporeal anastomosis in laparoscopic right colectomy were included in the systematic review. Meta-analytical models were used to evaluate anastomotic leak rate and short-term overall morbidity. Defined primary outcomes of interest were operating time, conversion rate, return of bowel function, anastomotic leak rate, and length of hospital stay. Randomized controlled trials were not found, confirming the paucity of the literature on this topic. Six case-control studies were identified involving 484 patients undergoing right laparoscopic colectomy, 272 with intracorporeal and 212 with extracorporeal anastomosis. Best outcomes seem to be associated with totally laparoscopic right colectomy with intracorporeal anastomosis, especially in terms of return of bowel function, length of hospital stay, and cosmetic results. However, our meta-analysis did not show a significant difference between the two techniques in terms of anastomotic leak rate (OR 0.98; 95 % CI 0.30-3.15) or for short-term overall morbidity (OR 0.68; 95 % CI 0.41-1.12). Comparative analysis of outcomes is in favor of intracorporeal anastomosis. However, the meta-analysis results do not allow us to draw definitive conclusions. Further prospective randomized trials are necessary to confirm our findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are limited large animal models for the research of novel anastomotic technologies. Subtotal colectomy requires the anastomosis of relatively remote segments of the alimentary tract that are different anatomically, histologically, and pose significant physiological challenge. The quest for a foreign material-free anastomotic line reintroduced nitinol compression anastomosis into clinical use in the last decade. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the safety, histological, and physiological parameters of side-to-side ileocolic nitinol compression anastomosis in a newly developed large animal model, mimicking the human subtotal colectomy. INTERVENTION Resection of the entire spiral colon with an ileocolic side-to-side compression anastomosis in 12 animals, compared to resection of a short ileal segment in 6 animals. All anastomoses were constructed by using a novel nitinol-based compression device. The animals were followed up to 30 days postoperatively and were reoperated and sacrificed. RESULTS All 12 animals underwent successful subtotal colectomy with side-to-side nitinol compression anastomosis. No signs of abdominal infection were found. The increase in the colectomized animals' bodyweight over the postoperative course was significantly lower and the animals presented with longer periods of diarrhea. The histopathology revealed minimal inflammation and foreign body reaction with good alignment of the bowel wall layers in both groups. The anastomotic line width was shown to be reduced during the healing course of the compression anastomoses. CONCLUSIONS Side-to-side nitinol compression anastomosis is safe and demonstrates favorable functional and histopathological features. The porcine model of subtotal colectomy can be used for further research of novel anastomotic technologies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Since 2005, after an initial scanty spreading, the vast majority of surgeons advice against the intracorporeal ileocolic anastomosis following right hemicolectomies. In the subsequent years, greater interest was re-discovered for the intracorporeal ileocolic anastomosis formed after video-assisted right hemicolectomies OBJECTIVE The aim of this systematic review is to compare the intra-abdominal versus extra-abdominal anastomosis after right laparoscopic colectomy. DATA SOURCES A systematic search was conducted in Medline, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, CINAHL, BioMed Central and the Science Citation Index. STUDY SELECTION A total of 191 publications were identified; seven non-randomized studies published between 2004 and 2012 with a total of 945 patients, who underwent laparoscopic right colectomy for malignant and benign disease, were included in this systematic review. INTERVENTION Intra-abdominal versus extra-abdominal confectioning of ileo-coloc anastomosis after right laparoscopic colectomy. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Anastomotic leak, overall post-operative morbidity and overall 30-days post-operative mortality. RESULTS Anastomotic leak rate resulted similar in IA (1.13%) and EA (1.84%) group (P=0.81, OR of 0.90, 95% CI 0.24-3.10) (Chi(2)=3.90, P=0.42, I(2)=0%). The mortality rate was lower in the IA group (0.34% versus 1.32%), although no statistically difference was demonstrated between the two groups (P = 0.48, OR of 0.52 95% CI 0.09-3.10). It was not possible to conduct a meta-analysis of post-operative morbidity as the data reported in the included studies were too heterogeneous. LIMITATIONS The weakness in our results was due to the lack of evidence in current published literature. CONCLUSIONS The present systematic review of literature and meta-analysis failed to solve the controversies between intracorporeal and extracorporeal anastomosis after laparoscopic right hemicolectomy. Future randomized, controlled trials are needed to further evaluate different surgical anastomosis after laparoscopic right hemicolectomy.
