Brief summary
The goal of this observational study is to explore the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic intracorporeal anastomosis in colorectal cancer surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. If intracorporeal anastomosis is safe in terms of short-term outcome? 2. If intracorporeal anastomosis can achieve the same oncological outcome as conventional extracorporeal anastomosis?
Detailed description
This study is a retrospective real-world research initiated by the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences Cancer Hospital, including Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Shenzhen Hospital and Peking University First Hospital. The study aims to retrospectively analyze the clinical data of approximately 2,000 patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery with preoperative imaging staging of cT1-4aNanyM0 and pathological diagnosis of adenocarcinoma or high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia from April 2016 to April 2020. The patients will be divided into the intracorporeal anastomosis group (IA) and extracorporeal anastomosis group (EA) based on the surgical records. The primary endpoints of the study are 3-year disease-free survival (DFS) and 3-year overall survival (OS). The secondary endpoints include overall complication rate within 30 days, postoperative pain score, time to first flatus after surgery, time to first bowel movement after surgery, time to first oral intake after surgery, length of hospital stay, and postoperative quality of life.
Interventions
Surgeons perform totally laparoscopic intracorporeal digestive reconstruction after specimen resection

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 3-year disease free survival | 3 year | Proportion of patients who remain alive without any signs or symptoms of disease recurrence or progression for a period of 3 years after surgery |
| 3-year overall survival | 3 year | Percentage of patients who are still alive at the end of a 3-year period after surgery |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Rate of postoperative complications | 30 days | Rate of postoperative complications within 30 days after surgery |
| Time to first stool after surgery | 7 days | Time to first stool after surgery |
| Postoperative pain score | 3 days | VAS (Visual Analog Scale) score is used to assess the postoperative pain level in patients. It is a measurement tool used to assess the intensity or severity of a subjective experience, typically related to pain or discomfort. The VAS score involves a straight line or a numerical scale ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 represents no pain or discomfort and 10 represents the worst possible pain or discomfort. Individuals are asked to indicate their level of pain or discomfort by marking a point on the scale, and the score is determined by measuring the distance from the 0 mark to the marked point. The VAS score provides a subjective assessment of pain or discomfort experienced by an individual. |
| Time to first flatus after surgery | 7 days | Time to first flatus after surgery |
| Length of stay after surgery | 30 days | Length of stay after surgery |
