Brief Summary

Laparoscopic colorectal surgery has been proved to have similar oncological outcomes with open surgery. Due to the lack of tactile perception, surgeons may have misjudgments in laparoscopic colorectal surgery. Therefore, the accurate localization of a tumor before surgery is important, especially in the early stages of cancer. Recently, some retrospective studies reported the use of patients' autologous blood for preoperative colonic localization in colorectal cancer with successful detection by laparoscopy, but its benefits remain controversial. This study aimed to assess the accuracy and safety of autogenous blood marker localization in laparoscopic radical resection for colorectal cancer.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Autogenous blood marker localization was not inferior to intraoperative colonoscopy localization

    While checking the intraperitoneal cavity at the start of the surgery, the visibility of tattooing will be first checked. After the complete resection of the colon segment, resected colon specimen will be checked the localization with autologous blood tattooing. The localization accuracy of autologous blood marker will be similar to that of intraoperative colonoscopy localization.

    From the beginning of endoscopic tattooing to the end of the surgery.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Adverse events related to endoscopic tattooing

    From the beginning of colonoscopic tattooing to 2 weeks after surgery.

Study Arms (2)

Autologous Blood Marker Group

EXPERIMENTAL

The tattooing was performed at 24-48 hours before the surgery. When the lesion was identified by endoscopy, 2-3 ml of the patient's peripheral venous blood without heparin preparation were injected submucosally at the distal side and proximal side of the lesion using a conventional endoscopic needle without submucosal injection of normal saline.

Procedure: Laparoscopic colorectal cancer resection

Intraoperative colonoscopy group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Under general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation, the patient was placed in the modified lithotomy position. After routine laparoscopic exploration, CO2-insufflated intraoperative colonoscopy was performed using a flexible videocolonoscope. Upstream small bowel clamping was applied before intraoperative colonoscopy. During intraoperative colonoscopy, CO2 pneumoperitoneum was maintained by the insufflator so that the laparoscope could guide the colonoscope effectively.

Procedure: Laparoscopic colorectal cancer resection

Interventions

This is one of the routine procedures used for colorectal cancer resection.
