Comparison of clinical efficacy and postoperative inflammatory response between laparoscopic and open radical resection of colorectal cancer

lNTRODUCTlON

As a type of multiple malignant tumor of the digestive system,colorectal cancer(CRC)is closely related to the living environment and dietary and living habits of patients[1].Meanwhile,the location of CRC is more hidden than that of other tumors;therefore,there is a lack of specific clinical manifestations in the early stage.The disease usually has progressed to the middle and late stage when there are changes in defecation habits,abdominal pain,hematochezia,and other manifestations,thus leading to a poor prognosis[2].Hence,it is of importance to perform a safe and effective treatment for patients with CRC in the early stage.

The traditional open surgery for patients with CRC can effectively remove the lesions,but there are some shortcomings,such as large trauma and slow postoperative functional recovery,which lead to obvious limitations in its clinical application[3].In recent years,with the development of Cavscope technology,laparoscopic-assisted radical resection of CRC has become popular,which can reduce surgical trauma,ensure early recovery of body function postoperatively,reduce related complications,demonstrating the effectiveness and safety of the treatment[4,5].

However,laparoscopic surgery is complex,and the anatomical structure of CRC can increase the difficulty of the operation;thus,its specific application is still controversial[6].In this study,96 patients with CRC were selected and divided into the study group and control group to explore and discuss clinical efficacy and postoperative inflammatory response of laparoscopic and open radical resection of CRC.

MATERlALS AND METHODS

Baseline data

This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of our hospital.We selected 99 patients with CRC treated in the inpatient department of our hospital from March 2016 to April 2021.Inclusion criteria were as follows:(1)patients diagnosed through pathological examination;(2)age ＞ 18 years;(3)patients with good compliance and communication skills,and who could cooperate to complete the investigation and research;(4)Dukes’ stage A-C;and(5)patients and their families were aware of the study and signed the consent form.Exclusion criteria were as follows:(1)patients with other malignancies;(2)patients with a history of gastrointestinal surgery and intestinal obstruction;(3)patients with serious water and sodium retention and infection;(4)patients with kidney,liver and other organ dysfunction;(5)patients with coagulation dysfunction;and(6)patients who took drugs that affected gastrointestinal motility within 1 mo before inclusion in the study.

According to the case selection criteria,96 cases meeting the requirements were finally included.They were divided into study group(

= 48)and control group(

= 48)according to the simple random number table method.There were 26 men and 22 women in the study group,age range 39-69 years,with an average of 53.91 ± 12.89 years;Dukes’ stage: 21 stage A,19 stage B and eight C;location of lesions: descending colon in three cases,ascending colon in six,sigmoid colon in nine and rectum in 30.There were 29 men and 19 women in the control group,average age 55.08 ± 14.11 years;Dukes’ stage: 24 stage A,17 stage B and seven stage C;location of lesions: descending colon in two cases,ascending colon in nine,sigmoid colon in 10 and rectum in 27.The clinical data of gender,age,Dukes’ stage and lesion location were balanced and comparable between the two groups(

＞ 0.05).

Laparoscopic radical resection of CRC was adopted.Patients underwent general anesthesia.Carbon dioxide artificial pneumoperitoneum was established,the abdominal cavity was explored to determine the position and lifting of the sigmoid colon,mesenteric blood vessels were separated,clamped and disconnected with a titanium clip.The inferior mesenteric blood vessels and surrounding connective tissue were separated with an ultrasonic knife.In case of vascular obstruction during separation,a titanium clip was used to clamp and clean the lymphatic tissue,and the ureters on both sides were strictly protected during separation.The peritoneum outside the colon was completely separated using an ultrasonic knife,the hepatic/splenic flexure of the colon was separated to ensure ]complete relaxation of the anastomosis,and an incision of ～5 cm was made on the abdominal wall to facilitate removal of the resected lesions.The intestinal stump was pulled out of the abdominal wall,anastomosed

,and then returned to the abdominal cavity.The abdominal cavity was thoroughly rinsed with sterile normal saline,the drainage tube was routinely placed,and the incision was closed.

Control group

SPSS version 22.0 was used for data analysis.The measurement data were expressed as mean ± SD and analyzed by

test

and the numerical data were expressed as

(%)and analyzed by

Observation indices

We measured operating time,intraoperative blood loss,recovery time of gastrointestinal function,number of lymph nodes dissected and length of hospital stay.Inflammatory response index levels[interleukin(IL)-6,IL-8,IL-10,C-reactive protein(CRP)]before and after the operation were measured.Pain stress response indices[levels of neuropeptide(NPY),prostaglandin E2(PGE2),5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT)]before and after the operation were measured.The incidence of the complications between the two groups was measured.

Years ago, I promised myself that when I retired1 I would get a chocolate poodle to share my golden years. From the very first, Cocoa has always been exceptionally well-behaved. I never have to tell him anything more than once. He was housebroken in three days and has never done anything naughty. He is extremely neat -- when taking toys from his box to play, he always puts them back when he is finished. I have been accused of being obsessively2 neat, and sometimes I wonder if he mimics3 me or if he was born that way, too.

Statistical analysis

Open radical resection of CRC was adopted.Patients underwent general anesthesia.The appropriate body position was selected according to the tumor location,where the size and location of the incision was determined in combination with the volume and location of the lesion.Routine abdominal examination was performed to clarify the relationship between the tumor location and adjacent organs and tissues.The proximal intestinal canal was ligated with warp cloth,the blood vessels were separated,peripheral lymph nodes were cleaned,root blood vessels were ligated

intestinal cutting,tumor was resected,and intestinal anastomosis was performed.The bleeding and circulation were checked,the abdominal cavity was cleaned,and the drainage tube was placed into the abdominal cavity and then closed.Postoperative routine fasting,analgesics,rehydration,and prophylactic antibiotics were given.

The operating time in the study group was longer(186.18 ± 33.54 min)than that in the control group(129.38 ± 26.83 min),but the intraoperative blood loss(111.34 ± 21.45 mL),recovery time of gastrointestinal function(25.35 ± 4.55 h),and hospital stay(10.09 ± 2.38 d)were better than those in the control group(163.77 ± 32.41 mL,36.06 ± 7.13 h,13.51 ± 3.66 d)(

＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in the number of lymph node dissections between the study group(15.19 ± 3.04)and control group(16.20 ± 2.98)(

＞ 0.05)as shown in Table 1.

Comparison of inflammatory response index levels before and after the operation between the twogroups

There was no significant difference between the levels of serum IL-6(9.79 ± 4.11 ng/mL),IL-8(3.79 ±1.71 ng/L),IL-10(48.96 ± 12.51 ng/L)and CRP(7.98 ± 2.33 mg/L)in the study group and control group(10.56 ± 3.78 ng/mL,4.08 ± 1.45 ng/L,50.13 ± 11.67 ng/L,8.29 ± 2.60 mg/L)before the operation(

＞0.05).After the operation,there was no significant difference between the levels of serum IL-6(19.11 ±6.68 ng/mL)and the levels of IL-8(12.61 ± 3.69 ng/L)and CRP(14.91 ± 5.56 mg L)were lower than those in the control group(34.03 ± 9.40 ng/mL,16.67 ± 4.54 ng/L,21.79 ± 7.33 mg/L),and the level of IL-10(36.48 ± 9.39 g/L)was higher than that in the control group(28.39 ± 7.61 g/L)(

＜ 0.05,Table 2).

Comparison of pain stress response indexes before and after the operation between the two groups

There was no significant difference in serum NPY(109.79 ± 13.46 UG/L),PGE2(269.54 ± 37.34 ng/L)and 5-HT(151.70 ± 18.86 ng /L)between the study group and control group(113.29 ± 15.01 UG/L,273.91 ± 40.04 ng/L,148.85 ± 20.45 ng/L)before the operation(

＞ 0.05).After the operation,there was no significant difference in serum NPY(153.13 ± 16.91 UG/L)and PGE2(313.76 ± 40.64 ng/L),and the level of 5-HT(218.78 ± 22.65 ng/L)was lower than that in the control group(178.68 ± 20.51 UG/L,369.78 ± 44.37 ng/L,267.64 ± 30.74 ng/L)(

＜ 0.05,Table 3).

Comparison of the incidence of complications between the two groups

The incidence of complications in the study group(4.17%)was lower than that of the control group(18.75%)(

＜ 0.05,Table 4).

DlSCUSSlON

In recent years,with the improvement of living standards,changes in diet and lifestyle have led to a significant increase in CRC incidence rate,and the trend in the population tends to be younger[7].According to recent statistical data,the incidence rate of CRC ranks third in the overall incidence of malignant tumors,with the mortality rate ranked fifth[8].

Laparoscopic radical resection of CRC can reduce surgical trauma,reduce inflammatory response and pain stress response caused by surgical treatment,which is conducive to shortening the rehabilitation of patients,with a low incidence of complications,and good safety.

Research results

The operating time in the study group was longer than that of the control group,but the intraoperative blood loss,recovery time of gastrointestinal function,and hospital stay were better than those in the control group.The incidence of the complications in the study group was lower than that of the control group.

Research conclusions

At present,in clinical settings,it is generally accepted that the treatment principle of CRC is to remove tumor lesions and lymph nodes,inhibit tumor metastasis and infiltration,and improve the survival rate of patients[9].Surgery is an important clinical treatment for CRC,and traditional open radical resection of CRC plays an important role in removing tumor lesions and clearing lymph node tissue.However,its trauma is large,and the risk of postoperative intestinal obstruction and incision infection is high,which is not conducive to early recovery of bodily functions,resulting in limitations in its clinical application[10,11].However,with improvement in medical technology,laparoscopic-assisted radical resection of CRC has gradually played an important role in CRC.It has little trauma and a clear operating field,which is convenient for the accurate implementation of relevant treatment operations[12,13].However,some studies have reported that laparoscopic technology is not yet fully developed and is difficult to operate,so its application is controversial[14].According to the present study,the operating time in the study group was longer than that in the control group,but other related indices were superior to those in the control group.The incidence of complications was lower than that of the control group,and there was no significant difference in lymph node dissections between the two groups,verifying that laparoscopic radical resection of CRC can achieve good efficacy and reduce surgical trauma and incidence of complications,which is conducive to early rehabilitation of bodily functions.The reasons may be as follows:(1)in laparoscopic radical resection of CRC,endoscopic treatment can provide a clear operating field for the operator,facilitate the rapid and accurate discovery of diseased tissues,reduce the damage to surrounding organs and tissues,and reduce the occurrence of complications and the impact on the physiological function of the body;(2)laparoscopic radical resection of CRC can reduce the traction injury to the tissue and the injury risks,such as surrounding important organs,blood vessels and tissues,reduce intraoperative blood loss and shorten the recovery time of bodily functions after operation;and(3)laparoscopic radical resection of CRC can avoid longterm exposure of organs,reduce mechanical traction injury of organs and gastrointestinal stress response,and shorten postoperative functional rehabilitation[15].In addition,some studies havesuggested that endoscopy has a certain amplification effect.Doctors can explore the abdominal cavity from multiple angles with the help of endoscopy,which can reduce the difficulty of distinguishing the pelvic and abdominal fascia space,and observe the parts that are difficult to be observed by traditional laparotomy,so as to accurately implement relevant procedures and protect the pelvic autonomic nerve function[16,17].The reason for the long operating time for laparoscopic radical resection of CRC may be the high complexity of the operation,which transforms the surgical field from three-dimensional to onesided.The operator needs to perceive the relevant conditions of the lesions through instruments,which increases the difficulty of surgical treatment to a certain extent,so it will prolong the operating time.

Research perspectives

Laparoscopic radical resection of CRC can achieve wider clinical application.

FOOTNOTES

Surgical procedures can be a source of exogenous stress response and produce trauma and trigger different degrees of inflammatory response and pain stress response.The latter is closely related to the degree of inhibition of immune function.Therefore,it is important to evaluate the state of inflammatory response and pain stress response before and after surgery.IL-6 and IL-8 are typical inflammatoryfactors,which can take part in the inflammatory reaction.IL-10 is an anti-inflammatory factor,and its serum content can increase abnormally when the body has an inflammatory reaction.CRP is an acute phase reactive protein that can increase abnormally after trauma.NPY,PGE2 and 5-HT are important indicators for clinical evaluation of pain stress.Their serum concentration is low under normal physiological conditions,but trauma from invasive surgery can result in abnormal increases of the above indicators.There is a positive correlation between the degree of increase and the degree of pain stress response[18-20].This study showed that,after the operation,the levels of IL-6,IL-8,CRP,NPY,PGE2 and 5-HT in the study group were lower than in the control group,and the IL-10 level was higher than in the control group.From the perspective of serum factors,laparoscopic radical resection of CRC can reduce inflammatory reaction and pain stress reaction,and is an effective and safe surgical treatment.
