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

Abstract

In our experience, the simple Rectum Catcher device is safe and useful for performing laparoscopic assisted high and lower rectal surgery.

Intracorporeal Traction of the Rectum with a Beaded Plastic Urinary Drainage Bag Hanger: Comparison with Conventional Laparoscopic Rectal Cancer Surgery

“…It is also effective in preventing local recurrence [5]. Matsumoto et al have reported laparoscopic lower rectal surgery using rectum catcher device with an intraoperative colonoscopy as a feasible approach with acceptable surgical and oncologic outcomes [6, 7]. Kuroyanagi et al have employed temporary intestinal clip with a clip applicator for rectal transaction and double stapling anastomosis [8].…”

“…Extraperitoneal cylindrical mesorectal excision and meticulous dissection along a proper plane need adequate traction and counter‐traction for exposure. Numerous studies have proposed various methods for rectal handling, mesorectal dissection, and transaction for rectosigmoid and rectal cancer during laparoscopic surgery [5–10]. Chung et al have used a cotton tape tie in laparoscopic colorectal surgery.…”

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

“…These include rectal clamp forceps from Yamamoto et al [7], with sufficient length and grip as well as multidirectional clamps, and the Rectum Catcher from Matsumoto et al [8] that enables a secure rectal clamp and is effective for desquamation of tumor cells in the rectum and thorough cleansing. However, these methods require the use of one 12-mm port.…”

“…Although many studies have focused on methods for intraluminal lavage and excision on the anal side of the rectum after desquamation of the lesion, none has been completely satisfactory [6][7][8][9]. Insufficient rectal lavage can increase the risk for relapse in the anastomosis [10,11].…”

Application of the Complex of Techical Maneuvers During Laparoscopic Total Mesorectal Excision

“…Линейный сшивающий аппарат, в свою очередь, вводился через троакар, введенный в надлобковой области [8]. Matsumoto и соавторы разработали специальный лапароскопический держатель, представляющий собой металлический стержень с петлей на конце, затягивающейся вокруг прямой кишки [9]. Chung и соавторы предложили использовать марлевую полоску для тракции прямой кишки и перекрытия ее просвета перед промыванием кишки.…”
