J Leroy, M Henri
Abstract
The description of the laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (TME) for cancer covers all aspects of the surgical procedure used for the management of rectal cancer.
Operating room set up, position of patient and equipment, instruments used are thoroughly described. The technical key steps of the surgical procedure are presented in a step by step way: exploration, exposure, vascular approach, risk of nerve damage, mobilization of sigmoid colon, mobilization of upper rectum, dissection of lower rectum, splenic flexure, division of rectosigmoid, extraction, direct anastomosis, J-shaped anastomosis.
Consequently, this operating technique is well standardized for the management of this condition.

19. Conclusions
Total mesorectal excision is the total, “en bloc” resection of the rectum and perirectal lymph node tissue (mesorectum) from the pelvic inlet to the pelvic floor. However, this resection presents risks such as hemorrhage, nerve injuries, local recurrences, fistulas, and anastomotic stenoses (Hartley et al., 2001).
The magnification of anatomical structures during pelvic dissection and perfect visualization of the procedure favor the teaching and broadcasting of the surgical technique.
Even though laparoscopy has not demonstrated evidence of better oncological efficacy in the long run, initial results are promising. Our experience shows that this procedure is performed via laparoscopy with similar results to the ones obtained in open surgery. Better preservation of immunity (Nishiguchi et al., 2001) can allow for immediate administration of adjuvant therapy in node positive patients, which will hopefully lead to improved survival outcomes in the future.
Learning should be provided with the help of a surgical team skilled in colorectal and laparoscopic surgery.

18. End of the procedure

[点击按纽展开更多->收起->回放]

Verification of the anastomosis is mandatory. This includes checking for the circular aspect of the amputated rectal and colon rings, optional air test, and for some authors (Franklin et al., 1996) endoscopic transanal evaluation of the anastomosis. An air test is almost impossible to perform in very low anastomoses.

Air test:
The pelvis is filled with a saline solution so that the anastomosis is largely covered. One clamp is positioned on the colon at the level of the promontory. Air is then injected under low pressure with a syringe introduced in the anal canal. The absence of bubbles confirms the absence of leakage of the anastomosis, but does not mean there is no risk of postoperative fistulas.

Dye test:
The dye test completes the air test if it is positive. Once the pelvis is clean, a betadine solution is injected under low pressure into the rectum with a syringe. This helps identify leaks.
If there is a minimal anterior leak, a suture can be performed. In case of massive leak, the anastomosis should be repeated either transanally, or via the abdominal route (laparoscopy or open surgery). In such cases, a diverting stoma (preferably ileostomy) is often necessary.
Methylene blue test can replace the betadine test. The problem is that it stains the pelvis, which hinders continuation of the exploration. We do not use it.
Drainage of the abdominopelvic cavity is not routine. It is done only if persistent oozing occurs.
1. Air

[点击按纽展开更多->收起->回放]

A protective stoma is recommended in low colorectal anastomosis, especially after radiation therapy because of the higher risk of fistula (Heald et al., 1998). It reduces the clinical severity of potential fistulas, which has a rate of 15% in our experience. The loop ileostomy is favored by most authors. It is situated preferably on the terminal ileum to better preserve the vascular supply of the anastomosis. It can also be situated on the right transverse colon. The selected bowel segment is identified under laparoscopic guidance before it is drawn to the skin.
1. Ileostomy
2. Transverse colostomy

• Closure
We conduct moderate lavage of the abdominal cavity before and after the anastomosis.
Exsufflation of the abdominal cavity is recommended before trocar extraction. The risk of incarceration of the omentum or the small bowel is avoided. Tumor seeding can also be avoided. For the same reason, irrigation of trocar incisions with a betadine solution is recommended by some authors (Balli et al., 2000).
The trocar incisions are closed cautiously. Incisions larger than 5 mm should be closed in layers to prevent incisional hernias. In obese patients, instruments such as the traumatic French needle can be very useful.
The gastric tube is not routinely left in place. Many surgeons remove it as soon as the patient awakes. We remove it on POD1.
The patient is mobilized as soon as possible on the operative day. Food intake is resumed as soon as bowel functions are restored. The urinary catheter should be rapidly removed to avoid any infection. Prevention of deep vein thrombosis is routinely performed (low molecular weight heparin).

17. J-shaped anastomosis

[点击按纽展开更多->收起->回放]

Anastomosis can be performed on a colonic pouch. This mandates a better mobilization of the left colon, which is exteriorized through the protected opening. In case of suprapubic incision, the superior part of the pouch should be easily drawn beyond the pubis. The colonic J-pouch (6 to 7 cm high) is fashioned with linear staplers or sutures at the level of the antimesenteric tania. The distal end of the pouch is incised to introduce the anvil of the circular stapler.

[点击按纽展开更多->收起->回放]

The anvil of the circular stapler (at least 28 mm in diameter) is introduced after the fashioning of a purse-string suture at the distal end of the pouch. The purse-string is fashioned either manually or with a purse-string device.
The anvil should then be easily introduced into the colonic lumen. The purse is closed tightly around the shaft of the anvil. The left colon with the anvil is then pushed back into the abdominal cavity.

[点击按纽展开更多->收起->回放]

The anastomosis can be performed under laparoscopic guidance after the reinsufflation of the pneumoperitoneum. The closure of the abdominal incision can be achieved by suturing the peritoneum and muscular planes. To ensure air seal, we prefer to close the previously placed wound protector, which gives the surgeon the possibility of exteriorizing the colon without reopening the abdominal wall.

The anvil, which has been placed at the apex of the pouch, is drawn into the pelvis. It is then clicked onto the proximal part of the circular stapler. The pouch is positioned anteriorly, as its mesentery is situated in contact with the sacral concavity. Once the anastomosis has been completed, the colon and rectum should mold into the sacral concavity. Because of the straight trajectory of the colon, there is not only an increased risk of leakage, but also a risk of secondary fecal incontinence, due to the absence of the natural anorectal angle (90° at rest).

16. Direct anastomosis

[点击按纽展开更多->收起->回放]

The colorectal anastomosis is a delicate operative step. The rate of fistula, which can be higher in laparoscopic surgery, accounts for the difficulty of this step (Hartley et al., 2001). In our opinion, a diverting stoma to protect the low colorectal or colo-anal anastomosis is necessary, especially after radiation therapy.
A straight anastomosis can be performed, or after a colonic J-pouch has been fashioned.
The anastomosis includes both an extra-abdominal and an intra-abdominal step. The extra-abdominal step takes place after exteriorization of the left colon through the opening covered by the wound protector.

[点击按纽展开更多->收起->回放]

First, the colon is brought outside the abdominal cavity through the incision protected by the plastic drape. The colon should be easily exteriorized beyond the pubis, which helps evaluate the possibilities of lowering it to the pelvic floor for a tension-free anastomosis.
The vascular supply and compliance of the exteriorized colon are evaluated. With a spastic colon, it is recommended to fashion a J-shaped colonic pouch or to perform the anastomosis higher on the more compliant portion of descending colon. The omental appendages in the area of anastomosis are resected.

[点击按纽展开更多->收起->回放]

The anvil of the circular stapler (at least 28 mm in diameter) is introduced once a purse-string suture has been fashioned on the distal part of the colon, either manually or with a purse-string device.
The anvil should then be easily introduced in the colonic lumen. Dilatation with bougies is unnecessary as it risks damaging the colonic wall. The quality of the compliance of the colon should allow for an effortless introduction of the anvil.
The purse is tightly closed around the shaft of the anvil. The left colon with the anvil is then pushed into the abdominal cavity.
1. 28 mm in diameter (at least)

[点击按纽展开更多->收起->回放]

The anastomosis can be performed under laparoscopic guidance after the reinsufflation of the pneumoperitoneum. The closure of the abdominal incision can be achieved by suturing the peritoneum and muscular planes. To ensure air seal, we prefer to close the previously placed wound protector, which gives the surgeon the possibility of exteriorizing the colon without reopening the abdominal wall.
This intra-abdominal step takes place entirely under laparoscopic guidance. Once the air seal of the abdominal cavity has been obtained with the closure of the plastic drape, the pneumoperitoneum is re-established. The pelvis is again perfectly exposed, with the help of a retractor that can be introduced through trocar D. Anastomosis is carried out with a mechanical circular stapler.
The circular stapler is introduced into the rectal stump by the assistant positioned between the patient’s legs, through the anus, which has previously been gently dilated. The rectal stump is then transfixed with the tip of the head of the circular stapler.
Once the anvil has been clicked onto the proximal part of the circular stapler, it is mandatory to confirm the absence of colon torsion. The posterior side of the mesocolon lies against the sacral concavity. The circular stapler is closed after ensuring no adjacent organs or epiploic appendages are trapped. Stapling is then done in keeping with the manufacturer's recommendations. Once the anastomosis is completed, the colon should mold into the sacral concavity.
The stapler is then loosened and removed through the anus.

15. Extraction

[点击按纽展开更多->收起->回放]

The extraction of the rectum is done through a mini-incision while protecting the abdominal wall with a wound protector. The specimen is isolated and placed into a tightly closed plastic bag before extraction. Certain authors recommend a thorough abdominal lavage after specimen extraction.

[点击按纽展开更多->收起->回放]

The incision is generally made in the suprapubic region. Other authors recommend the left lower quadrant. The ability to easily bring the proximal colonic resection line down to the left lower quadrant or to the right lower quadrant helps in the assessment of the mobilization of the colon into the pelvis and thus in the construction of a tension-free anastomosis.
The incision should be adapted to the size of the specimen to be extracted. Care must be taken not to crush the specimen at the time of the extraction.

[点击按纽展开更多->收起->回放]

The specimen is extracted in a tightly closed plastic bag. The abdominal incision is also protected with a wound protector (7 or 11 cm in diameter). This is also used to ensure that the abdominal cavity is airtight during the intracorporeal colorectal anastomosis that follows the extraction.

Wound protector
Once the wound protector is introduced into the abdominal opening, the plastic bag containing the resected sigmoid colon and rectum is brought up to the skin. The bag is then opened to extract the colon, while avoiding abdominal contamination.

2. Plastic drape

14. Division/rectosigmoid
• Strategy
The division of the distal and proximal margins of resection is done prior to extraction. The extraction should be non-traumatic to avoid any risk of tumor cell dissemination (Okuda et al., 1998).
The specimen is isolated before extraction and placed in a plastic, watertight, tightly closed bag. The distal resection is usually performed first but if exposure is difficult, the proximal resection line may well be performed first (Okuda et al., 1998). The division should be done at least 2 cm below the inferior margin of the tumor and 10 cm above it, while removing the whole of the mesorectum.

Exclusion of lower rectum
The distal part of the dissected rectum is excluded either by ligature or by a clamp, or by a row of staples. The rectum distal to this exclusion is then washed with or without povidone iodine via the introduction of a cannula by the anal canal. This can help avoid the risk of tumor seeding on the division line. Lavage with an antiseptic and tumoricidal solution such as povidone iodine was proposed by Balli et al. (2000).

Rectal division
The lower rectum is exposed by gentle posterior traction. This traction can be performed with the thread used to ligate the rectum below the tumor to exclude the rectal stump. The division is performed with an articulated cutting linear stapler (45 mm, blue or green cartridges).

[点击按纽展开更多->收起->回放]

In rectal cancer, most surgeons perform the proximal division at the level of the sigmoid colon. The colon is divided on a portion that is healthy, supple, and well vascularized.
The division takes place on the descending colon if the sigmoid colon is affected by a concomitant pathology such as diverticulosis.
The division of the sigmoid mesocolon can be done either with a vessel sealing device, ultrasonic scissors or linear staplers. The complete sigmoid mesocolon is removed.
The division of the colon is done with a cutting linear stapler, which allows for clean division and stapling without opening the digestive tract.
The stapler (blue cartridges) is introduced in trocar C in the right iliac fossa.

Once divided, the rectosigmoid is placed in a large, tightly closed plastic retrieval bag. The procedure can thus be continued without manipulation of the tumor in the abdominal cavity. The bag is introduced in trocar E or C. If the specimen is too bulky, it is extracted before completing mobilization of the left colon.

13. Splenic flexure

[点击按纽展开更多->收起->回放]

Mobilization of the splenic flexure is necessary to allow for a tension-free anastomosis in case of low colorectal or colo-anal anastomosis. The mobilization can take place at the beginning of the surgical procedure, before or after extraction of the rectum. The use of ultrasonic scissors is helpful, but not compulsory.
Except in a few patients with long and compliant sigmoid loops, mobilization of the left colon almost always mandates a large dissection, which combines division of lateral and posterior attachments with vascular divisions while preserving the vascular supply of the mobilized left colon. This vascular supply is sometimes difficult to assess laparoscopically.
1. Lateral approach
2. Medial approach

[点击按纽展开更多->收起->回放]

The medial mobilization of the splenic flexure is perfectly suited to the laparoscopic approach as the surgeon, situated to the patient’s right, has an excellent view of the anterior surface of the pancreas, the base of the left transverse mesocolon, and the posterior surface of the splenic flexure.
Mobilization is performed after the medial posterior freeing of the sigmoid mesocolon, which is then continued cephalad, anterior to Toldt’s fascia, then anterior to the pancreas.

The lateral approach is conventional in open surgery. It is used in simple cases when the splenic flexure is mobile. It is completed with the freeing of the lateral and posterior attachments.
