Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a prospective randomized controlled study. investigators will randomly assign patients to the indocanine green (ICG) group and control (CL)group to compare the differences of lymph nodes dissection in station 253 between the two groups.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

ICG is a registered and FDA-approved non-specific fluorescent probe for optical imaging in clinical settings. The properties of ICG ,which is a water-soluble amphiphilic molecule with a molecular weight of 775 Dalton and a hydrodynamic diameter of 1.2nm ,render it an excellent lymphatic contrast agents if injected into the lymphatic system. ICG near-infrared(NIR) fluorescent imaging has achieved satisfactory results in the localization of sentinel lymph nodes in patients with breast cancer,non-small cell lung cancer,and gastric cancer. Liang et al have suggested that 253 lymph nodes dissection in rectal cancer is technically demanding ,and that learning curve for laparoscopic 253 lymph nodes dissection requires minimally 20 procedures. Currently,it was still controversial about 253 lymph nodes dissection in rectal cancer surgery. However, lymph node involvement is a major prognostic factor for survival after rectal cancer surgery. Therefore, it is necessary to harvest more station 253 nodes for the better long-term survival and the more precise staging.

In this study, investigators will randomly assign patients to the indocanine green (ICG) group and control (CL)group. Number of harvested station 253 lymph nodes, number of positive station 253 lymph nodes, will be evaluated and compared. Investigators will also evaluate patients, operative time, blood loss, post-operative hospital stay and complications.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

ICG group

Patients in the ICG group will undergo endoscopic injection of ICG 4 hours before surgery. The ICG powder will be dissolved in 2.5mg/ml of sterile water. ICG will be injected along the submucosa at 4 points around the primary tumor,for a total volume of 10ml.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

lymph nodes dissection at 253 station assisted by ICG

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

In ICG group :All patients will be subjected to laparoscopic radical resection with station 253 lymph nodes dissection by fluorescence laparoscopic.

CLgroup

Patients in the CL group will undergo routine laparoscopic lymph nodes dissection instead of using any tracer.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
