Single-port versus multi-port robotic surgery for rectal cancer

Detailed Description

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

This study is a phase 2a clinical trial based on the IDEAL framework, which aims to evaluate the safety and short-term clinical efficacy of single-port robotic total mesorectal excision by comparing it with multi-port robotic total mesorectal excision. The primary endpoint is short-term clinical efficacy, including intraoperative complications, blood loss, conversion rate, operation time, postoperative complications within 30 days, time to first flatus after surgery, and postoperative hospital stay. Secondary endpoints include incision length, visual analog scale (VAS) scores for postoperative pain on days 1-3, completeness of mesorectal excision grading, positive circumferential resection margin rate, positive distal resection margin rate, and the number of harvested lymph nodes.

This study was conducted in two phases:

Phase I : A single-arm study of single-port robotic radical resection for rectal cancer (n=20) Phase II : A prospective non-randomized controlled study comparing single-port (n=100) versus multi-port (n=100) robotic radical resection for rectal cancer
