Abstract

We reported the preliminary results of the comparison of perioperative outcomes between single-incision plus
one port laparoscopic rectal resection (SILS+1) and standard multiport laparoscopic rectal resection (MPL) at Hatyai
Hospital.
Materials and Methods: The data were retrospectively collected for patients undergoing SILS+1 (34 patients),
and MPL (30 patients) at Hatyai Hospital from January 2011 to September 2013. The demographic data, operative time,
hospital stay, postoperative pain, conversion to open surgery, and postoperative complications were analyzed.
Results: With the exception of more males in the SILS+1 group, demographic data were similar in both groups.
Most of the procedures were low anterior resection in both groups (28/34 in SILS+1 and 26/30 in MPL). The operative
time was longer in the MPL group (p = 0.01). There were no significant differences in mean estimated blood loss (282.2
mL vs. 208.0 mL), number of open conversions (1 vs. 3), mean maximum postoperative pain score (6.1 vs. 7.3), mean
hospital stay (13.4 days vs. 10.9 days), number of reoperations (1 vs. 2) and complication rate (5.9% vs. 13.3%). Average
length of specimen was longer in the SILS+1 group (19.7 cm vs. 16.2 cm, p = 0.01), which also had more advanced stage
tumors (p = 0.01). There were no significant differences in mean tumor size (4.8 cm vs. 4.1 cm), mean distal margin
(2.2 cm vs. 2.4 cm) and mean number of harvested lymph nodes (10 vs. 9) between the two groups.
Conclusion: Preliminary results of the present study showed that SILS+1 is safe and has similar perioperative
outcomes as MPL.
