Abstract

A 62-year-old male patient underwent endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR). Additional hybrid 2-port hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery (HALS) (Mukai's operation) was performed for early rectal cancer located at the distal border of the rectum/below the peritoneal reflection (Rb) region [SM massive invasion/ly+/vertical margin (VM)X] via a small transverse incision, approximately 55 mm long, at the superior border of the pubic bone. After the pelvic floor muscles were dissected by laparoscopy-assisted manipulation, transanal subtotal intersphincteric resection (ISR) was performed under direct vision, securing a margin of more than 15 mm distal to the EMR scar. Partial external sphincteric resection (ESR) was also performed to obtain an adequate VM at the posterior region of the EMR scar. After bowel reconstruction, the layers were sutured transanally and a temporary covering colostomy was created. The resected specimen contained no residual tumor cells without lymph node metastasis. At 3 months after the operation, digital examination revealed good tonus of the anal muscles without stricture. The patient is currently undergoing rehabilitation of his anal sphincter muscles in preparation for the colostomy closure. In conclusion, subtotal ISR combined with partial ESR may decrease the need to perform Miles' operation for T1/2 stage I rectal cancer located at the distal border of the Rb region.
