Abstract
Objective. To obtain data on the comparative characteristics of traditional and improved methods of hemostasis for the middle rectal artery (MRA).
Materials and methods. The material for the sectional study was 206 corpses of men (the age of the deceased was from 22 to 82 years, the average age was 57 years) and 113 corpses of women (the age of the deceased was from 32 to 93 years, the average age was 63 years). To achieve the purpose of the study, the following methods were used: vascular injection, dissection, statistical processing. 85 patients of both sexes aged from 57 to 75 years were selected to conduct the clinical part of the study at Gomel Regional Specialized Clinical Hospital. Among them, 50 people were in the comparison group and 35 people were in the main group. All patients were diagnosed with stage I or II rectal cancer. The operative technique for performing hemostasis on the MRA during anterior rectal resection in the comparison group included sequential ligation and stitching between the clamps first of the distal third of the length of this artery, and then its proximal third. In the main group, the method of hemostasis for MRA was supplemented by ligation and stitching of this vessel in the middle third of its length. Statistical data processing included parametric and nonparametric methods of comparative analysis.
Results. On cadaveric material, it was found that most of the extraorgan anastomoses of the MRA both in men and women have been localized in the middle third of this artery. The results obtained during the clinical study demonstrate the superiority of the improved hemostasis method for MRA over the traditional method. The proposed method includes additional ligation and stitching of the middle third of the MRA.
Conclusion. The improved hemostasis method for MRA in anterior rectal resection is highly effective, which makes it possible to recommend it as the method of choice in the surgical treatment of upper ampullary rectal cancer of stage I or II.
