SECTION 2 Current Clinical Applications and Techniques
https://t.me/med1917
The fi rst hybrid NOTES colon resection was reported by
Lacy et al. [58], who performed a successful transvaginal
mini-laparoscopic-assisted natural orifi ce sigmoidectomy
(MA-NOS) in a 78 -year -old woman with a T3N1 sigmoid
adenocarcinoma. A trocar inserted transvaginally was used
to perform dissection and stapling of both the inferior
mesenteric vessels and the upper rectum. The colonic resection was performed extracorporeally, followed by an intra abdominal stapled anastomosis.
Next, Lamade et al. [59] reported a series of fi ve
patients operated by a combined trilumenal hybrid natural
orifi ces approach for sigmoid and colonic resection (Tri -PortNOS-SIG), using commercially available rigid laparoscopic
instruments through the umbilicus, the vagina, and the
rectum, without a signifi cant abdominal incision. The specimen was retrieved through the anus and the postoperative
course was uneventful for all patients, with a short length
of stay.
Our red line from bench to bed in NOTES
colonic resections
During colorectal procedures there are two critical steps that
pose challenges for minimally invasive approaches. The fi rst
is the construction of the anastomosis and the second is the
extraction of the specimen.
Solutions to obviate the need to enlarge a port incision
or to perform a mini -laparotomy are the intracorporeal
anastomosis and the use of the natural orifi ces (anus or
vagina) to help the dissection and to extract the surgical
specimen.
NOTES approaches, however, add a new challenge of safe
viscerotomy closure.
We have taken a stepwise experimental and clinical
approach to developing minimally invasive techniques to
address these challenges in sigmoid colectomy.
First, we performed a single port (Sugiquest Air Seal)
sigmoidectomy on a survival porcine model to assess the
feasibility of this approach [60] (Video 13.1).
Second, we performed the fi rst totally NOTES sigmoidectomy using a combination of transgastric and transrectal
access in a survival swine model involving fi ve pigs (Video
13.2).
To achieve a good exposure and tension over the mesentery and to control the anvil of the circular stapler, we
introduced the use of a transanal endolumenal magnetic
manipulator [61] (Figure 13.1).
Next, we published the fi rst human case of LESS sigmoidectomy for diverticulitis [62] (Video 13.3).
Furthermore, as a preparatory step toward NOTES colorectal procedures, we conceived a technique to achieve a
percutaneous endolumenal control of the position of the
anvil in virtually all the segments of the colon (PECAC) [45]
(Video 13.4 and Figure 13.2).
We used this technique to perform a single -port sigmoidectomy with transabdominal specimen extraction and a tri port sigmoidectomy with transanal specimen extraction. A
logical next step toward pure colorectal NOTES was to
perform a full -laparoscopic single -port sigmoidectomy with
transanal NOSE [63] (Video 13.5 and Figure 13.3).
LESS with transanal NOSE sigmoidectomy is clearly not
suitable for all cases, thus careful patient selection is mandatory. Obesity, American Society of Anaesthesiology (ASA)
score of 3 or 4, and surgeons ’ experience have been recognized as independent risk factors for conversion from laparoscopic to open surgery in a large patient series [64].
Furthermore, while in acute non -complicated diverticulitis
infl ammation tends to remain more localized, a past episode
of acute sigmoiditis results more commonly in a thickened
bowel wall and mesentery with signifi cant adhesions. With
no prior abdominal surgery, a low BMI, and mild, localized
acute sigmoid diverticulitis, our patient was an ideal candidate for the procedure.
Finally, to provide a safe and reliable means of closing the
transrectal viscerotomy, we proposed a novel technique
using the circular EEA ™ hemorrhoid and prolapse stapler
set with DST ™ technology developed by Covidien [65]. The
advantage of the EEA ™ hemorrhoid stapler is in the long
shaft of the anvil, which allows easy placement at the level
of the rectal defect. The defect can then be invaginated
around the anvil under visual control before connecting the
stapling device.
To assess this circular stapled closure technique, we performed a prospective randomized trial on a porcine model
with survival using the TEO surgical platform to perform a
hybrid NOTES partial colectomy. We compared the effi cacy
of the transrectal viscerotomy closure by manual suture with
the TEO instruments versus the circular stapled technique.
Results showed that transrectal viscerotomy closure with
EEA™ hemorrhoid stapler is signifi cantly faster than suture
closure through a TEO ™ platform with a histologic tendency
toward less infl ammatory reaction (Diana M., Endoscopy,
submitted).
This rectal closure technique is another step in an
ongoing effort to perform transrectal NOTES or hybrid
NOTES colonic segmental resections for polyps or early
cancers in all segments of the colon, overcoming the limitations of existing TEO ™ techniques. Combining secure rectal
closure, our PECAC technique to control the position of the
anvil, and a fl exible long circular stapler will enable segmental resections everywhere in the colon (Video 13.6 and
Figure 13.4).
Additionally, we assessed the feasibility of a transgastric
or transvaginal NOTES sentinel node biopsy as an adjunct
to endoscopic submucosal dissection of colorectal early
stage neoplasia [66]. All the sentinel nodes were identifi ed
and underwent biopsy. Although not yet appropriate for
human use, this proposal merits consideration as a potential

means of augmenting the effectiveness and appropriateness
of minimally invasive endoscopic techniques for colon
cancer.
We have further shown the feasibility of the MAGNAMOSIS™ magnetic ring anastomosis in both side -to-side and
end-to-end colorectal anastomosis (unpublished data). The
system has the ability to be delivered throughout the colon
on an endoscope and precisely positioned using the PECAC
technique. The system is currently under development, but
showed reliable anastomosis with patency at 4 –7 days. A
minimum force of 4 N is required for reliable anastomosis,
thus thickness of the tissue and incorporating staple lines
must be considered when using the device.

Conclusion
Pure NOTES colonic resections are not yet a clinical reality.
Hybrid NOTES has seen limited human use and will continue to grow with enabling techniques and technology.
In our opinion formed throughout a stepwise experimental approach, the best indication for NOTES in colorectal
surgery is segmental colic resections for polyps not amenable
to endoscopic mucosal resections or endoscopic submucosal
dissection.
Accurate staging of the polyp would be mandatory for this
indication and could be achieved by NOTES biopsy of the
sentinel node.
The widespread adoption of colorectal NOTES will ultimately require techniques and technologies that are standardized to respect the core principles of colorectal surgery.

NOTES Applied for Rectal Surgery
Patricia Sylla
Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA, USA
Radical surgery for rectal cancer
The management of rectal cancer has evolved dramatically
over the past 15 years. Improvements in surgical technique
have led to the standardization of radical oncologic resections with signifi cant impact on outcomes. Neoadjuvant
therapy for locally advanced tumors not only decreases local
recurrence rates following curative resection, but can also
downstage tumors and increase the likelihood of sphincter
preservation. While radical surgery for rectal cancer, including low anterior resection (LAR) and abdominoperineal
resection (APR), offers the best long -term oncologic results
for locally advanced tumors, it is associated with a 2 –8%
mortality rate, 30% peri -operative complication rate [1],
and a high incidence of functional disorders including
urinary (5 –12%) [2] and sexual (10 –35%) [2,3] dysfunction, which are magnifi ed by the deleterious effects of pelvic
irradiation. Given the cumulative morbidity of rectal cancer
management, particularly in elderly patients, there has been
signifi cant interest in less -invasive surgical therapies.
Relative to open resections, laparoscopic colon surgery
is associated with reduced length of hospital stay, faster
recovery, and equivalent oncologic outcomes [4–7]. With
respect to rectal cancer, multiple comparative studies have
reported similar outcomes [8–10], and ongoing randomized
controlled trials of laparoscopic versus open resection for
rectal cancer will weigh in on long -term oncologic safety.
Laparoscopic LAR, however, still requires sizeable abdominal incision for specimen extraction with comparable
wound-related morbidity relative to traditional open resections, including wound infection rate, incisional pain, and
hernia formation.
Local excision of rectal cancer
Transanal excision of rectal cancer is an attractive alternative
to radical rectal resection in the management of premalignant rectal polyps and early cancers. Endoscopic polypectomy, and mucosal and submucosal resections, can be
curative for adenomas to T1 cancers arising in pedunculated
and even small sessile polyps. Inadequate resection margins
or T1 rectal cancers infi ltrating into the superfi cial submucosa or deeper require additional intervention to ensure
complete resection and to rule out deeper invasion. Local
excision consists in partial or full -thickness transanal resection of rectal lesions through the rectal wall, which permits
accurate T staging and wider resection margins, with low
associated morbidity. Transanal excision, however, can only
be used for low rectal tumors, and mesorectal lymph nodes
cannot be sampled with this approach, which results in
potential understaging of rectal tumors. With respect to
oncologic outcomes of early rectal cancers treated with
transanal excision, the majority of series on transanal excision for low -risk T1 lesions report a 10 –15% rate of local
recurrence [11,12]. Rates as high as 30% have been reported
in association with high -risk histologic T1 features [13],
including poor differentiation, lymphovascular invasion,
and tumor infi ltration deeper than the middle layer of the
submucosa. These high -risk features are thought to correlate
with a higher incidence of lymph node positivity, which
ranges from ≤5% in low -risk T1 cancers to as high as 15%
in high -risk lesions [14].
Among local excision techniques, Transanal Endoscopic
Microsurgery (TEM) combines standard transanal access and
endoscopy. TEM was introduced in 1983 by Dr Gerhard

Buess to resect mid - and high -rectal lesions not amenable
to endoscopic removal or standard transanal excision. The
TEM platform consists in a 4 cm wide multiport rigid platform equipped with CO
insuffl ation and a built -in optical
2
viewing system that permits precise and complete endolumenal endoscopic resection of rectal lesions using adapted
surgical instruments. Using TEM, partial or full -thickness
excision of rectal lesions located 5 –15cm from the anal verge
can be achieved with signifi cantly better optics than standard transanal excision. By virtue of providing better visualization and more precise dissection of rectal lesions, TEM was
shown to result in lower rates of tumor fragmentation,
margin positivity, and recurrence than standard transanal
excision [15,16]. TEM is also associated with low complication rates, ranging from 8% to 26% [17–19]. While TEM is
a compelling alternative to radical resection in the management of rectal adenomas and carcinoid tumors, it suffers
from the same limitations as standard transanal excision
with respect to oncologic adequacy in the management of
rectal cancer. In several non -comparative case series that
include low - and high -risk T1 rectal cancers, the overall local
recurrence rate following TEM resection of T1 lesions ranged
from 4% to 13% [17,20–23] and was substantially higher
for T2 lesions [17,22]. The only randomized controlled trial
comparing oncologic outcomes following TEM versus low
anterior resection in 50 low -risk T1 rectal cancers reported
no signifi cant difference in local recurrence (4.2%) or 5 -year
survival (96%) [23]. Based on the current literature on the
use of TEM for rectal cancer without the use of neoadjuvant
treatment, TEM resection is considered acceptable for low risk T1 rectal cancer with a local recurrence rate of 10% or
less, compared to 6% or less following radical surgery with
TME [24]. Based on these data, there is little controversy
that the standard of care for high -risk T1 rectal cancers and
more advanced tumors is curative radical resection, especially given the fact that salvage surgery in the setting of
local recurrence following local excision can only be achieved
in approximately 50% of patients [25].
Several clinical trials are currently under way to evaluate
whether oncologic outcomes following local excision of
high-risk T1, T2, and even T3 rectal cancers can be improved
with the use of chemoradiation (CRT), in order to avoid the
morbidity of radical resections. This is based on the observation that pre -operative CRT results in downstaging in 40 –
60% [26] or complete pathologic regression in 20 –30% [27]
of locally advanced rectal tumors. A recent randomized controlled trial comparing outcomes following TEM versus
laparoscopic LAR with total mesorectal excision (TME) for
low T2 rectal cancers treated with neoadjuvant therapy
reported similarly low ( ≤6%) local recurrence rates in both
groups [28]. Based on these promising results, the American
College of Surgeons Oncology Group (ACOSOG) phase II
trial Z6041, GRECCAR II, and several other ongoing European trials are evaluating outcomes following local excision
using TEM of pre -operatively staged T2N0 rectal cancer
treated with pre -operative CRT. Obvious concerns with this
approach include the risk of over -treating node -negative T1
rectal cancers and under -treating node -positive T1 and T2
rectal cancers, with the incidence of local recurrence potentially delayed by more than 5 years as a result of neoadjuvant treatment. These limitations are in large part related to
the fact that lymph node sampling cannot be achieved by
currently available local therapies, and that pre -operative
lymph node staging by endorectal ultrasound and pelvic
MRI only has an accuracy of 60 –80% [29].
Beyond laparoscopy: NOTES
Since the report of the fi rst human transgastric endoscopic
appendectomy in 2004, natural orifi ce translumenal endoscopic surgery (NOTES), or surgery performed using endoscopes inserted through natural orifi ces rather than
abdominal incisions, has been held as the next step in the
evolution of minimally invasive surgery. Given the right
tools, a wide range of surgical procedures could theoretically
be performed endoscopically without the need for abdominal incisions [30]. Proposed advantages include the avoidance of wound -related complications, including incisional
pain, infection, and herniation. Among potential NOTES
access sites, transvaginal access has become the favored
route with the international experience now counting thousands of pure and hybrid laparoscopic -assisted transvaginal
NOTES cholecystectomy, nephrectomy, and sleeve gastrectomy [30–33]. Transvaginal endoscopic access and closure
have the advantage of being relatively safe and easily reproducible with low risk of adjacent organ injury and of inadequate closure. Wide application of this approach is limited
by the fact that it has not been widely endorsed by the surgical community, and that it has been met with varying
degrees of enthusiasm by the public based on differences in
cultural acceptance of transvaginal access [34,35].
Despite the fact that the transrectal NOTES endoscopic
approach to the abdominal cavity shares the same ergonomic advantage as transvaginal access in terms of visualization of abdominal organs in line with the endoscope, until
recently, transrectal NOTES was the least popular access
route to the peritoneal cavity as refl ected by the relative
paucity of published experimental data and clinical reports
relative to transgastric and transvaginal NOTES. This was
due to the reluctance to create a colotomy and risk fecal
contamination for procedures that would normally be associated with minimal risk of infectious complications. Preliminary feasibility studies and survival series on transcolonic
and transrectal NOTES peritoneoscopy ( N = 35) [36–41],
cholecystectomy ( N = 5) [42], ventral hernia repair ( N = 3)
[43], rectosigmoid resection ( N = 10) [44], combined trans-
gastric and transrectal/transcolonic access ( N = 15) [44,45],

CHAPTER 14 NOTES Applied for Rectal Surgery
https://t.me/med1917
hybrid transcolonic small bowel resection ( N = 4) [46], and
combined transcolonic and transvaginal distal pancreatectomy ( N = 2) [47] in swine have cumulatively demonstrated
the safety of this approach, with peritonitis and death occurring in only 1/74 survival animals (1.35%) due to incomplete closure of an anterior colotomy in a single animal [42].
These reports highlighted the importance of a stable endoscopic multitasking platform, such as TEM [41,44] and ISSA
[36], to allow reliable transanal peritoneal entry into the
peritoneal cavity, adequate endoscopic visualization, effective manipulation of abdominal structures, and safe closure
of the site of entry.
With regard to the risk of fecal contamination during
transrectal and transcolonic NOTES procedures, over two
decades of published clinical results using TEM for rectal
lesions and cancer have demonstrated that inadvertent entry
into the peritoneal cavity during full -thickness excision of
high-rectal lesions located above the peritoneal refl ection is
not associated with increase in infectious complications, precluded adequate closure of the defect can be achieved
[48,49]. A recent report by Leroy et al. of 16 patients in
whom peritoneal cultures were collected at the time of
laparoscopic sigmoid colectomy with transanal specimen
extraction for sigmoid diverticulitis, reported no infectious
complications, although peritoneal cultures were positive
for polybacterial growth in all 16 patients [50]. These data
suggest that the risks of infectious complications with transrectal NOTES are likely to be similar to that of standard
colorectal resections, depending on the degree of fecal contamination and the adequacy of the colotomy closure.
Transanal colorectal surgery
Preliminary experience with transrectal NOTES highlighted
the fact that among all potential applications, transrectal and
transcolonic access may be ideally suited for colorectal resection. The most compelling argument is that creation of a
proctotomy is a routine step in colorectal procedures, rather
than an iatrogenic event during other types of procedures
such as a NOTES transrectal cholecystectomy. In addition,
the proctotomy created is ultimately incorporated into a
handsewn or stapled colorectal anastomosis, which reduces
the infectious risks of a NOTES approach to that of a standard colorectal resection. Second, the concept of transanal
colorectal resections is not entirely novel or provocative.
Transanal rectosigmoid resection and transanal intersphincteric resection (ISR) are well -described procedures used in
the management of rectal prolapse and of low rectal cancer,
respectively. Perineal proctosigmoidectomy is a standard
approach to treat full -thickness rectal prolapse, and an
attractive and substantially less morbid alternative to abdominal procedures in elderly patients with extensive comorbidities [51]. For low rectal cancers located within the anal canal
(1–4 cm from the anal verge) that would traditionally require
APR, sphincter -preserving transanal ISR in combination
with TME is associated with good long -term oncologic outcomes. ISR involves open or laparoscopic rectal dissection
with TME followed by transanal dissection of the internal
sphincter (either in part or completely) in continuity with
the rectum, off the external sphincter, which is preserved.
The specimen is then exteriorized through the anus,
transected, and standard colonic pouch -anal-handsewn or
stapled anastomosis is performed with a diverting stoma.
This approach increases the chance of achieving a negative
distal resection margin with preservation of continence and
good long -term oncologic [52–55] as well as functional
[56,57] outcomes.
NOTES builds on the concept of transanal rectal dissection
and goes one step further by proposing to perform complete
rectal, mesorectal, and rectosigmoid dissection entirely
transanally using an endoscopic platform. Proof of concept
for this approach was presented in 2007, when Whiteford
et al. described a pure NOTES technique for transanal rectosigmoidectomy in three human cadavers [58] using the
TEM platform. This was the fi rst report of a radical sigmoid
colectomy with en bloc lymphadenectomy achieved entirely
transanally using standard laparoscopic and TEM instrumentation. Quoted advantages of this approach included the
excellent visualization provided by the TEM system, the
ability to achieve tissue retraction and manipulation using
TEM instrumentation, and to replicate all essential steps of
an oncologic rectal dissection using this approach. Technical
limitations included diffi culties overcoming the acute angle
at the sacral promontory with the rigid metal TEM platform
and to reach deeper into the pelvis with standard TEM
instrumentation, which in turn limited the extent of sigmoid
colon that could be mobilized with this approach [58].
NOTES transanal rectosigmoid resection:
animal studies
The feasibility and safety of NOTES transanal colorectal
resection was evaluated in an animal model. In a fi rst pilot
study conducted in nine swine cadavers and non -survival
animals, transanal endoscopic resection of the rectosigmoid
could be performed using standard TEM and laparoscopic
instrumentation. The procedures were performed without
bowel injury or other complications, and a steep learning
curve was observed [59]. The same procedure was performed by other groups, demonstrating the feasibility and
reproducibility of this approach [60]. Technical diffi culties
encountered with this approach included the inability to
advance the TEM platform above the sacral promontory,
hence limiting exposure and reach of the sigmoid and more
proximal colon [59]. These limitations highlight the fact that
swine is a suboptimal animal model for this procedure in
