Conditions

Sigmoid Cancer

Brief summary

he purpose of this study is to explore the clinical outcomes of Indocyanine Green Tracer using in laparoscopic radical sigmoidectomy for sigmoid adenocarcinoma (cT2-T4a N0 M0,T1-T4a N+ M0).

Interventions

PROCEDUREindocyanine green fluorescence imaging lymphatic tracing

At the end of routine operation, indocyanine green was used for lymph node tracing, and further lymph node dissection was performed according to the tracer results.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Disease-free survival rate3 years after the surgeryodisease-free survival was defined as the time from surgery to the time of recurrence or death from any cause

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Metastasis Lymph Nodes14 days after the surgeryCompare number of positive lymph nodes in both group.
The number of lymph nodes at each station14 days after the surgery
The rate of fluorescence14 days after the surgeryThe number of fluorescent lymph node in experimental group is divided by the total number of lymph nodes in active experimental group
Positive rate14 days after the surgeryThe number of positive lymph nodes in fluorescent lymph nodes is divided by the number of total fluorescent lymph nodes in experimental group
False positive rate14 days after the surgeryThe number of negative lymph nodes in fluorescent lymph nodes is divided by the number of total fluorescent lymph nodes in experimental group
Negative rate14 days after the surgeryThe number of negative lymph nodes in not fluorescent lymph nodes is divided by the number of total not fluorescent lymph nodes in experimental group
False negative rate14 days after the surgeryThe number of positive lymph nodes in not fluorescent lymph nodes is divided by the number of total not fluorescent lymph nodes in experimental group
Morbidity rate30 days after the surgeryThis is for the early postoperative complication
Total number of retrieved lymph nodes14 days after the surgeryCompare total number of retrieved lymph nodes in both group
Pathological outcomes checklist14 days after the surgeryQuality of the mesorectum specimen, number of harvested lymph nodes, status of circumferential resection margin, and distal resection margin
3-year Overall survival rate3 years after the surgeryOverall survival was defined as the time from surgery to death from any cause
5-year Overall survival rate5 years after the surgeryOverall survival was defined as the time from surgery to death from any cause
5-year Disease-free survival rate5 years after the surgery
Local recurrence rate3 years after the surgeryLocal recurrence was defined as radiologic or histopathologic evidence of any recurrent disease deposit located in the pelvis in the prior area of dissection following a primary rectal cancer resection, with or without distal metastasis.
Postoperative function (voiding function, sexual function) and quality of life3 years after the surgery
The correlation between the number of lymph nodes and 3-year overall survival rate and 3-year disease-free survival rate3 years after the surgery
Minimal Residual Disease, MRD3 years after the surgery
mortality rate30 days after the surgerymortality, which defined as the event observed within 30 days after surgery
