摘要

Purpose

To examine the clinical impact of transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) for locally advanced rectal cancer after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NACRT).

Methods

This retrospective study included 91 patients undergoing surgery for rectal cancer after NACRT between 2011 and 2022. Among them, 24, 22, and 45 patients underwent open (Open), conventional laparoscopic (Lap), and TaTME surgeries, respectively. We compared their clinical outcomes.

Results

Operative time, blood loss, transfusion, morbidity, and hospital stay were significantly lower in the TaTME group than in the Open or Lap groups. The multivariate regression analyses identified only the TaTME approach as a significant factor for reducing morbidity. Both 3 yrear relapse-free survival (RFS) and local recurrence-free survival (LRFS) were significantly better in the TaTME group than in the Open or Lap groups (3 yr RFS: 94.7%, 80.4%, and 66.7%, and 3 yr LRFS: 100%, 90.5%, and 82.2% for the TaTME, Lap, and Open groups, respectively). Multivariate analyses of potential risk factors for recurrence identified body mass index, combined resection, and pathological stage, but not the TaTME approach, as significant predictors of recurrence.

Conclusion

TaTME reduced morbidity significantly in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer undergoing NACRT, compared with open or laparoscopic surgery.
