Abstract:Objective:To explore the feasibility of hand-assisted gasless laparoscopic surgery of colorectal carcinoma. Methods :The clinical data of 25 cases of colorectal carcinoma treated with hand-assisted gasless laparoscopic radical surgery were analyzed retrospectively. Results:All the operations were successfully completed without serious complications such as anastomotic fistula, and none died from operation. The mean time of operation was (171.5+15.6) min. An average of (14.1士1.4) mesenteric lymph nodes were removed at operation. The length of resected specimen in cases of colon carcinoma was (23.8士2.3) cm, and for rectal carcinoma was (19.4士1.5) cm. There were 3 cases of wound infection after operation. Conclusions:Hand-assisted gasless laparoscopic surgery for colorectal carcinoma is safe, feasible and effective, and meets the requirements of radical resection of colorectal carcinoma.
