The gasless single-port laparoscopic-assisted surgery (GSLS) is associated with rapid recovery and shorter postoperative hospital stay and no pneumoperitoneum complications occur after the operation. To our knowledge, there have been no reports about GSLS applied to the treatment of gastrointestinal cancer in the world. To explore the safety and effectiveness of GSLS in rectal cancer patients, this project plans to evaluate the operation time, cardio-pulmonary function, postoperative pain, immunologic function and restoration of bowel function after the operation.
This project aims to investigate the safety and effectiveness of gasless single-port laparoscopic-assisted radical resection (GSLR) in the treatment of rectal carcinoma.
