About this study

Official title: Prospective Study of the Feasibility of Stereotactic Navigation in Laparoscopic Surgery for Colorectal Cancer

To evaluate the feasibility and precision of stereotaxic navigation in laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer.

Read the detailed description
  • In minimally invasive surgery, the proper identification of the correct anatomical planes can be difficult due to a lack of tactile feedback and the inability to manually palpate the organ prior to resection. Although this can be minimized by careful preoperative planning, the information that can be obtained by images is also of limited utility. Conventional imaging, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT-scan), can provide a detailed view of 2D or 3D internal anatomical structures. However, during surgery, surgeons still have to use their subjective interpretation to translate this information into three-dimensional spatial relationships (ie the patient's actual volume). For this reason, in order to perform adequate resection and avoid injury, the surgeon must constantly infer what is the actual location of the anatomical structures and what is the position of the surgical instruments in relation thereto.
  • The proposed study aims to evaluate the feasibility of surgical navigation in patients with colorectal cancer (sigmoid rectum-right-left rectum) and measure its performance in the perspective of a more specific application to rectal cancer approached laparoscopically through the abdomen and / or the anus. The study is proposed to patients with cancer because the measurement of accuracy will be done on predefined anatomical points that will be detectable in the surgical field after oncologic dissection. Benign pathologies do not require this type of extensive dissection and the application of navigation would imply additional risks for patients.
  • Surgical navigation will be performed on the basis of preoperative images or intraoperative images.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Intraoperative acquisition (robotic c-Arm) of imagesOther

    Conventional laparoscopic colorectal oncologic resection is performed. During the procedure, the operator will identify previously defined anatomical landmarks, point them with an instrument tracked by the navigation system and the accuracy of the stereotactic navigation system will be calculated by comparing the "surgical" anatomical point and its correspondent on the images of the navigation platform.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Accuracy of Surgical stereotactic navigation defined as the distance, in millimetres, between the position of the surgical landmark and the position determined by the navigation system

    Measurement of "accuracy" of surgical navigation defined as the distance measured between the position of "surgical" previously defined anatomical landmarks, pointed with a surgical instrument tracked by the navigation system, and corresponding location of the instrument in the navigation image. A distance equal to or less than 4 mm between the two locations will be considered as an optimum accuracy.

    Measured: up to 7 days post procedure

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Comparison, in millimeters, of the surgical navigation "accuracy" (as defined in the primary outcome) with or without intraoperative images acquisition

    Usefulness of intraoperative images acquisition for the registration process of the navigation system by comparing accuracy of surgical navigation (in mm) with or without intraoperative images acquisition

    Measured: up to 7 days post procedure

  2. Difference, in millimetres, between the alignment of the geometric position of the markers in the image space and the actual physical space for stereotaxic navigation

    Measurement of "registration error" during surgical navigation defined as the difference between the alignment of the geometric position of the markers in the image space and the actual physical space, with or without intraoperative images acquisition. An error of 2 mm during the recording process will be considered as the optimal parameter

    Measured: up to 7 days post procedure

  3. Measurement of the overall operating time (in minutes) with and without intraoperative images acquisition

    Evaluation of the impact of the introduction of surgical navigation on the operating time. The measurement of the overall operating time (expressed in minutes), associated with surgical navigation

    Measured: up to 30 days post procedure

  4. Measurement of the level of radiation exposure to ionizing factors with and without intraoperative images acquisition

    Evaluation of the impact of the introduction of surgical navigation on the exposure of the patient to ionizing radiation, measured with Dose Length Product (DLP) and expressed in mGy * cm

    Measured: up to 30 days post procedure

  5. Number of intra and/or postoperative complication

    Evaluation of the impact of the introduction of surgical navigation on the incidence of intra- and / or postoperative complications associated with surgical navigation

    Measured: up to 30 days post procedure
