Side-to-side and end to end Anastomoses comparable in NOSES Surgery for Left Colon Cancer: Study
Researchers have found in a new study that in NOSES (Natural Orifice Specimen Extraction Surgery) for left colon cancer, both side-to-side (Overlap) and end-to-end anastomosis techniques demonstrated similar outcomes in terms of intraoperative and postoperative conditions.
A study was done to analyze and compare the application and efficacy of side-to-side anastomosis and end-to-end anastomosis in natural orifice specimen extraction surgery (NOSES) NOSES operation for left colon cancer. A retrospective analysis of 69 patients in our hospital from February 2018 to February 2022 who underwent NOSES for left colon tumors.
The observation group was performed with side-to-side anastomosis (Overlap). For digestive tract reconstruction, the control group was anastomosed by end-to-end anastomosis; the intraoperative and postoperative conditions and complications were compared between the two groups.
Results: There was no significant difference in operation time and intraoperative blood loss between the two groups (P > 0.05). However, the intraoperative anastomosis time in the observation group was significantly shorter than that in the control group (P < 0.001). Additionally, there was no significant difference in the time of first exhaustion, defecation time, degree of patency of defecation, frequency of defecation, postoperative hospital stays and postoperative pain between the two groups (P > 0.05).
