Abstract:
Objective
The purpose of this study is to explore the feasibility and safety of the omental fusion line-guided splenic flexure mobilization(SFM) technique based on fascia anatomy in radical surgery for left-sided colon cancer.
Methods
Using the method of observational study,our study retrospectively collected the clinical data of 112 patients who underwent laparoscopic radical resection for left-sided colon cancer at the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery of Guangdong Province Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2018 to December 2023. The data included some basic information,preoperative examinations,surgical videos,and general postoperative conditions. The study observed indicators including laparoscopic operating time,intraoperative blood loss,splenic flexure mobilization time,splenic flexure blood loss,postoperative complications,and postoperative hospital stay.
Results
All patients successfully completed the surgery without conversion to open laparotomy. No complications related to splenic,pancreatic,or gastric omental vascular injuries occurred. Among them,the key outcomes included a median laparoscopic operating time of 42.0(36.0,46.8) minutes,a median splenic flexure mobilization time of 14.0 (12.0,16.0) minutes,a median intraoperative blood loss of 50 (20.0,50.0) mL,and median splenic flexure blood loss was 3.0 (1.1,7.0) mL. The median postoperative hospital stay was 6.0 (5.0,7.0) days,with no postoperative complications such as bleeding,pancreatic fistula,or intestinal fistula.
Conclusion
The omental fusion line-guided splenic flexure mobilization technique is safe and feasible to be applied in laparoscopic radical surgery for left-sided colon cancer,which can effectively addressing the technical challenges of splenic flexure mobilization of the colon,and can be further promoted and applied.
