Laparoscopic Colorectal Cancer Surgery

• Reduced blood loss• Less pain• Faster recovery• Shorter length of stay• Comparable morbidity &

mortality1

• Oncologically safe2

• Better cosmetic results• Gold standard

SPA laparoscopic surgery

• Better cosmesis than conventional laparoscopy

• Technically challenging• Learning curve• Comparative outcomes

with conventional laparoscopic in audit of all colorectal cases1

Single Port Laparoscopic Resections for Colon Cancer at North Tees

• Single port resections for colorectal cancer since November 2009

• Experience of > 100 benign cases

• Retrospective audit of all single port resections for colorectal cancer

• Data from notes, Theatreman, pathology system

Outcomes

• Patient profile• Operative time• Length of stay• Morbidity and

mortality• Dukes stage• Lymph node yield

Cases• DG 10 cases

• TG 21 cases

Age

• Mean 67.9

• Median 67

• Range 34 - 94

• BMI: Mean 24 (17.9-32.8), Median 24.8

• 4 patients had documented previous abdominal surgery

Gender ASA

Operative time• Mean 140 mins (85-210)• R hemi 135 mins (85-

210)• L hemi/AR 156 mins

(104-170)

Length of Stay• Mean 5.8 days• Median 4• Range 3 – 25

Morbidity & Mortality

• No 30 day mortality, no leaks

• 2 (6.5%) wound infections

• 1 (3.2%) collection requiring US guided drainage

• 2 extended hospital stays

Dukes stage

Lymph node yield

• Mean 21.5, median 17, range 5-92

• 6 (19.4%) less than 12

Conclusion

• Initial results indicate that this technique appears to be safe without excessive operating times and recovery time

• Further audits required with longer follow up and comparison with conventional laparoscopic resections
