Robotic LAR with Transanal Extraction Alessio Pigazzi City of Hope Duarte, CA
A history of Lap TA extraction -Franklin procedure • First shown by Franklin in early 1990s for Recto/sigmoid resection. • Advantages: • Cosmetically pleasing • Lower hernia rate • Lower wound infection • Better anastomosis? • Disadvantages • Technically demanding • Oncologically safe?
Indications • Can be done for • Benign disease • Selected cancers • Avoid large tumors What about rectal cancer?
Types of Rectal Transanal ResectionLife within 8 cm of the outside world Inter SphinctericColoanal AA Low Anterior Resection Colorectal AA
40 Intersphincteric resection vs 37 CAA • 1990-2000 • Same frequency, urgency, fragmentation • Wexner incontinence score higher in ISR • 10.8 ISR vs 6.9 CAA • Higher use of antidiarrheals in ISR
SurgEndosc, 2010 • 13 patients • 11 transanal extraction • 2 Transvaginal extractions • Complications :2 patients (15%) • Anastomotic leak: 1 • Bleeding anastomosis:1 • No report of incontinence
Robotic low anterior resection with TA extraction • Potential to have • Superior cosmetic results • Lower wound infection rates • Lowe hernia rate • Better continence data than coloanalanastomosis
City of Hope experience Double Purse String AA. 4 patients (3F;1M) Age: 58 Mean distance tumor anal verge: 8 cm Ileostomy:2 Complications: None Mean Wexner score: 3.5 (2-6)
Conclusions • Resection with transanal extraction ideal minimally invasive procedure • Combines Open, LAP, Endoscopic skills • Robotic technology makes the procedure more applicable to low anterior resection • Preliminary data encouraging-more studies are needed
