Study arms

  • Experimental
    Tubeless NOSES

    Patients receive Tubeless NOSES.

    Procedure: Tubeless NOSES

  • Active comparator
    traditional laparoscopic

    Patients receive traditional laparoscopic radical resection.

    Procedure: traditional laparoscopic radical resection

Interventions

  • ProcedureTubeless NOSES

    The whole procedures undergo by total laparoscopic surgery with no specimen extraction incision in the abdominal wall. The specimen then will be removed through natural orifice such (anal).

  • Proceduretraditional laparoscopic radical resection

    The traditional laparoscopic operation undergo and then a small incision(5-8cm) is made in the middle of the lower abdominal wall to remove the specimen.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. 3-year disease free survival rate

    Time frame: 36 months after surgery

Secondary outcomes

  1. 5-year overall survival rate

    Time frame: 60 months after surgery

  2. Incidence of postoperative complications

    All postoperative complications in the perioperative period will be classified by the Clavien-Dindo classification.

    Time frame: 1 month after surgery

  3. the functional outcome of defecation

    Anal incontinence was evaluated using the Wexner Continence Grading Scale , the score being calculated after the patients' completion of a daily defecatory questionnaire. Range is from 0 (normal continence) to 20 (maximum incontinence with maximum disturbance of lifestyle).

    Time frame: 60 months after surgery

  4. the operation time

    The descriptive unit would be minute (min).

    Time frame: in the perioperative period

  5. the blood loss during the operation

    The descriptive unit would be millilitre (ml)

    Time frame: in the perioperative period

  6. Postoperative recovery of intestinal peristalsis

    The descriptive unit would be hour (h).

    Time frame: in the perioperative period

  7. Pain score

    A Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) is a measurement instrument that tries to measure a characteristic or attitude that is believed to range across a continuum of values and cannot easily be directly measured.It is often used in epidemiologic and clinical research to measure the intensity or frequency of various symptoms.For example, the amount of pain that a patient feels ranges across a continuum from none to an extreme amount of pain ( from 0 to 10).

    Time frame: in the perioperative period

  8. number of cases converted to laparotomy

    The procedure for cases who underwent traditional laparoscopic radical resection for those who cannot be done with traditional laparoscopic radical resection or Tubless NOSES and convert to laparotomy as a result,these should be recorded and compared within two experimental arms.

    Time frame: in the perioperative period

  9. the mean postoperative hospitalization day

    The descriptive unit would be day (d).

    Time frame: in the perioperative period
