Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to investigate the metastatic status of lateral pelvic lymph nodes in rectal neuroendocrine neoplasms (rNENs) undergoing laparoscopic total mesenteric excision (TME). The hypothesis is that the rate of lateral lymph node metastasis is underestimated in rNENs undergoing TME, necessitating concurrent lateral Pelvic lymph node dissection.

Detailed Description

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

This study is a prospective single-arm clinical study. 30 patients with rNENs undergoing TME are planned to be included in the study. The purpose of this study is to investigate the metastatic status of lateral pelvic lymph nodes in (rNENs) undergoing laparoscopic TME. The primary endpoint is the rate of lateral pelvic lymph nodes metastasis. The primary hypothesis was the rate of lateral lymph node metastasis is underestimated in rNENs undergoing TME, necessitating concurrent lateral Pelvic lymph node dissection.

This study seeks to report for the first time the true status of lateral pelvic lymph node metastasis in these patients. In addition, the proportion of patients with radical resection (R0), surgical complication profile, and quality of life (QoL) are also secondary endpoints.

Lateral Pelvic lymph node dissection

After performing TME surgery, further conduct lateral pelvic lymph nodes dissection.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

lateral pelvic lymph node dissection

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Following the total mesorectal excision principle, the rectum and mesentery are removed, with careful protection of the pelvic autonomic nerves. After completing laparoscopic rectal resection, lateral lymph node dissection is performed. The lateral dissection follows these steps: ① Open the peritoneum at the bifurcation of the iliac vessels, dissect along the retroperitoneum adjacent to the ureter-bladder fascia, expose the lateral pelvic area, and carefully protect the ureter and hypogastric nerves. Open the peritoneum along the edge of the external iliac vessels close to the inguinal ligament, clear the lymphatic fatty tissue alongside the external iliac vessels along the edge of the iliopsoas and internal oblique muscles; ② After identifying the hypogastric nerve, dissect along the bladder-bladder fascia, separate the bladder and the fat tissue around the lateral pelvic space, completely remove the lymphatic tissue around the internal iliac vessels and hypogastric nerves.
