Introduction: Laparoscopic lateral pelvic lymph node dissection (LPLD) is technically challenging because of the complicated anatomy of the pelvic wall. To overcome this difficulty, we introduced preoperative 3‐D simulation. The aim of the study is to investigate the usefulness of preoperative 3‐D simulation for the safe conduct of laparoscopic LPLD for rectal cancer. Methods: After undergoing colonoscopy, patients were brought to the radiology suite where multi‐detector row CT was performed. Three‐dimensional images were constructed at a workstation and showed branches of the iliac artery and vein, ureter, urinary bladder, and enlarged lymph nodes. All members of the surgical team participated in preoperative simulation using the 3‐D images. Results: A total of 10 patients with advanced lower rectal cancer and enlarged lateral pelvic lymph nodes underwent laparoscopic unilateral LPLD after total mesorectal excision, tumor‐specific mesorectal excision, or total proctocolectomy. Four of the 10 patients (40%) had variations in pelvic vascular anatomy. The median operative time for unilateral LPLD was 91 min (range, 66–142 min) and gradually declined, suggesting a good learning curve. The median number of lateral pelvic lymph nodes harvested was nine (range, 3–16). The median estimated blood loss was 13 mL (range, 10–160 mL). No conversion to open surgery or intraoperative complications occurred. No patient had major postoperative complications. Conclusion: Preoperative 3‐D simulation may be useful for the safe conduct of laparoscopic LPLD, especially for surgeons with limited prior experience. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
