Brief Summary

Laparoscopic right hemicolectomy D3 dissection or complete mesocolic excision (CME) has become the standard treatment for right hemi-colon cancer, and the treatment of Henle trunk is one of the difficulties of the operation. However, there are many variations in the Henle trunk, and the vein wall is thin. It is very easy to damage the Henle trunk and its branches during the operation, resulting in massive bleeding, especially for beginners. In addition, retrospective studies found that for ileocecal or ascending colon tumors, low ligation of Henle trunk can obtain better lymph node clearance. In the early stage, the investigators improved the surgical method for ileocecal or ascending colon tumors. An endoscopic linear stapler was used to disconnect the surrounding tissues of Henle trunk under the guidance of indocyanine green developer. The retrospective study of small samples found that it can significantly reduce the incidence of local bleeding, shorten the operation time, and obtain the same lymph node clearance rate. At present, there is less large-scale randomized controlled study on the disconnection of Henle trunk with linear stapler for right colon cancer. In recent years, the were nearly 1000 cases/year of colorectal cancer operated in department of gastrointestinal surgery of shanghai east hospital. Therefore, the investigators plan to cooperate with many domestic colorectal cancer treatment centers to take the lead in carrying out this prospective, multicenter and randomized controlled trail, to explore the safety and efficacy of linear stapler in the treatment of Henle trunk in laparoscopic radial hemicolectomy of colon cancer. The investigators hope to provide accurate clinical evidence for individualized precision treatment of rectal cancer patients.

  • Incidence of complications

    within 30 days after resection

  • Incidence of at least one serious complication within 30 days after resection

    within 30 days after resection

Study Arms (2)

Linear stapler group

EXPERIMENTAL

In the experimental group, indocyanine green was injected for development during the operation after ileocolic vessel and the middle colonic vessel were dissected. The tributary vessels of the Henle trunk were disconnected with a linear stapler if there was no obvious lymph node development, which means ligated not in the root. Otherwise, they were transferred to the experimental group.

Procedure: Laparoscopic linear stapler

Conventional group

NO INTERVENTION

The branches of Henle trunk were dissected according to the conventional method and clamped at the root.

Interventions

The ileocecal or ascending colon tumors were resected using a combined cephalic caudal approach. When the accessory right colonic vein is separated from the head and then turned to the caudal side for upward dissociation. After no metastasis of 203 groups of lymph nodes is confirmed according to ICG development during the operation, the Henle stem and its root tissue were resected with a linear stapler.

Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients with locally advanced colorectal cancer met the following criteria at the time of enrollment:
  • Adult male and female, aged between 18-75 years
  • Colonoscopic biopsy confirmed colonic adenocarcinoma
  • Before treatment, the tumor was located between ileocecal part and ascending colon liver area
