Laparoscopic Low Anterior Resection Using a Triple Stapling Technique

Laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection and anterior resection with curative intent for carcinoma of the rectum

“…Since the advantages of minimally invasive procedures in comparison with open surgery, such as more rapid restoration of peri- stalsis and thus earlier realimentation and less postoperative pain and thus earlier mobilization and shorter hospital stay, are well-known [16,[20][21][22], they will not be considered here. A statistical evaluation of the currently available perioperative data reveals nothing unusual.…”

A Y-shaped vinyl hood that creates pneumoperitoneum in laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery (Y-hood method.): a new technique for laparoscopic low anterior resection

“…CT, USA) [21]. This technique, usually called the double TA method in Japan, is recognized as a very beneficial method.…”

The simple “Rectum Catcher” device is a useful tool for laparoscopic-assisted high and lower rectal surgery

“…However, only two patients with rectal tumors at or above 12 cm from the anal verge were reported in their paper. Idani et al [10] reported Lap-LAR in the lower rectum using the triple stapling technique using the Endo TA. However, the suprapubic working trocar is replaced by a 33-mm trocar before using the Endo TA, and it is often very difficult to conform the staple line of Endo TA, and position the endolinear stapler just distal to the anal side of the staple line of Endo TA laparoscopically.…”
