Simple pelvimetry predicts the pelvic manipulation time in robot-assisted low and ultra-low anterior resection for rectal cancer.
Surgery Today 2024 March 30
PURPOSE: This study explored the difficulty factors in robot-assisted low and ultra-low anterior resection, focusing on simple measurements of the pelvic anatomy.
METHODS: This was a retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 61 patients who underwent robot-assisted low and ultra-low anterior resection for rectal cancer between October 2018 and April 2023. The relationship between the operative time in the pelvic phase and clinicopathological data, especially pelvic anatomical parameters measured on X-ray and computed tomography (CT), was evaluated. The operative time in the pelvic phase was defined as the time between mobilization from the sacral promontory and rectal resection.
RESULTS: Robot-assisted low and ultra-low anterior resections were performed in 32 and 29 patients, respectively. The median operative time in the pelvic phase was 126 (range, 31-332) min. A multiple linear regression analysis showed that a short distance from the anal verge to the lower edge of the cancer, a narrow area comprising the iliopectineal line, short anteroposterior and transverse pelvic diameters, and a small angle of the pelvic mesorectum were associated with a prolonged operative time in the pelvic phase.
CONCLUSION: Simple pelvic anatomical measurements using abdominal radiography and CT may predict the pelvic manipulation time in robot-assisted surgery for rectal cancer.
