terclockwise. The surgeon holds the IMA in the right hand retracting in a caudad direction. The left hand is used to create the window on the far side of the vessel with monopolar cautery and a Maryland grasper. The assistant retracts the colon more proximally to optimize tension.
The mesentery around the IMA can be taken with bipolar energy prior to ligating the vessel to expose the most proximal extent of the vessel. An endolumenal stapling device with a vascular load is very safe and effective as well (Fig.7.5). After the high ligation, the IMV can be isolated in a similar fashion and divided, along with the left colic, as they are in close proximity.
After division of the IMA and IMV, medial to lateral dissection can be performed with blunt dissection and gentle sweeping, to facilitate the lateral dissection.
Step 6: Mobilization oftheLeft Colon
Following division of the inferior mesenteric artery, the left mesocolon is separated from the retroperitoneum in a medial-to-lateral direction using a spreading movement. The patient is taken out of steep Trendelenburg position and airplaned to right side down, as necessary to move the small bowel out of the operating eld. Upward traction is maintained on the ligated vessels and mesoco-
lon with the left hand, while the right hand sweeps down additional retroperitoneal attachments. Dissection can continue laterally to the white line of Toldt and left gutter and superiorly toward the pancreas. The more medial the dissection, the easier mobilization of the left colon will be.
The atraumatic bowel grasper is used through the right upper quadrant port to retract the descending and sigmoid colon medially. Scissors are inserted through the right lower quadrant port. Cauterization 1mm medial to the white line will elevate the left colon and free it from the ret­roperitoneum. Dissection continues in a cephalad direction just enough to allow adequate reach of the colon to the planned colostomy site to the abdominal wall (Tip 7.5).
Tip 7.5 Stoma Length
c
The end of the colon used for the colostomy should reach without tension to the abdominal wall. Insufflation may falsely overestimate the amount of colon mobilization needed, so desufflating may be helpful when checking length. Additionally, too much length may actually increase the rate of hernia or prolapse.

Step 7: Total Mesorectal Excision
The patient is returned to steep Trendelenburg position, and the small bowel reected cranially. The rectosigmoid junction is elevated away from the sacral promontory, to enable entry into the presacral space. An open atraumatic grasper is used to facilitate traction on the sigmoid and rec­tum as if mimicking the role of the St. Mark’s retractor in an open pelvic dissection (Tip 7.6).
Tip 7.6 Open Retractor Tension: In
c
Up and Out!
To facilitate retraction in the pelvis, an open long bowel grasper can be placed behind the mesorectum. The direction of traction is gently into the mesorectum, up toward the abdominal wall (anteriorly) and slightly out of the pelvis (cephalad).
A near bloodless plane is expected for the
mesorectal dissection except for the caudal lat-
eral stalks, which are amenable to division with bipolar energy or electrocautery. Identify the lmy plane of the posterior mesorectum and dis­sect with cautery scissors. Take care to preserve the hypogastric nerves laterally as they pass into the pelvis anterior to the sacrum. Continue the dissection in this avascular, loose areolar plane toward the pelvic oor (Fig.7.6).
When the tension is lost secondary to antero­lateral attachments, switch to the peritoneum on the right side of the rectum. Retraction on the rec­tum should be toward the left side of the pelvis to facilitate traction. Attachments are divided later­ally, up to the level of the seminal vesicles or rec­tovaginal septum. They should be avascular, except at the lateral stalks, where a small amount of adipose tissue and the middle colic vessels cross from the side wall to the mesorectum.
This process is repeated for the peritoneum on the left side of the rectum with the surgeon’s left hand retracting the rectum out of the pelvis and to the right, with the assistant providing countertrac­tion on the side wall (Fig. 7.7). This facilitates further posterior dissection along the back of the mesorectum down through Waldeyer’s fascia to the anal canal. In many cases, particularly with

obese patients or males with a narrow pelvis, some or all of the anterior and lateral dissection must be completed to create lift of the rectum out of the pelvis and obtain adequate visualization to complete the posterior dissection.
After the posterior and lateral dissection have been completed, the assistant places an atraumatic bowel grasper, via the left iliac fossa port, to retract the peritoneum anteriorly to the rectum. The rectum is pushed down and pulled out of the

pelvis simultaneously. The anterior peritoneal dis­section is continued from the free edge of the lat­eral peritoneal dissection with monopolar cautery (Fig.7.8). The anterior dissection is an extension of the lateral peritoneal incision from each side of the rectum toward the middle. The plane is devel­oped anterior and parallel to the rectum, leaving Denonvilliers’ fascia intact unless contraindicated from an oncologic perspective. The dissection will separate the posterior vaginal wall of the

prostate and seminal vessels from the anterior wall of the rectum (Tip 7.7).
Tip 7.7 Vaginal Retraction
c
In females, a sponge stick in the vagina that is elevated in an anterior direction can also help with this dissection.
It is critical not to “waist” the specimen. The mesorectum should be left intact, and attach­ments/adhesions from the mesorectum to the levator muscles after radiation should be left intact and taken with the specimen (Fig.7.9).
The difculty of dissection will vary depend­ing on the body habitus of the patient, the diam­eter of the pelvis, and the size and level of the tumor. Rectal mobilization can be very difcult to perform laparoscopically under some circum­stances. Low bulky anterior rectal tumors, mor­bidly obese men, or tumors adherent to the
posterior wall of the vagina may need to be com­pleted in an open fashion via a lower midline or a Pfannenstiel incision (Pitfall 7.2).
Pitfall 7.2
c
If there is any difficulty determining the difference between tumor and radiation fibrosis in the anterior position, the pelvic dissection should be converted to an open or hybrid approach.
After the anterior dissection is performed, recheck the lateral and posterior planes to determine if more tissue can be divided. The dissection is con­tinued until the levators are visualized laterally and the coccyx is palpated posteriorly. Conrmation with concurrent digital vaginal exam that the extent of dissection has reached tissues accessible from the perineal dissection is helpful (Fig.7.10).

tion. In some cases, dividing the colon mesentery and sigmoid early in the case may improve expo­sure and is reasonable if this is the case.
Retract the inferior mesenteric artery pedicle with a bowel grasper through the right lower quadrant port, and insert bipolar energy through the right upper quadrant port. The assistant con­tinues to retract the colon in an anterior fashion. A well-perfused location on the colon with adequate reach to the stoma site should be chosen. The mesentery is divided perpendicular to the colon and proximal to the transected IMA/left colon pedicle. After the residual mesentery is divided completely with an energy device, the colon is divided with a laparoscopic stapler. Introduce the stapler through the 12mm port at the umbilicus with the assistance of a 5mm camera from a right port (Fig.7.11). Care must be taken not to devas­cularize the terminal of the colon during meso­colic division. Preserving the marginal vessel is typically sufcient to prevent ischemia.
Step 9: Omental Pedicle Flap
Prior to extraction of the descending colon through the abdominal wall, an omental pedicle ap is raised if adequate omentum is available. This helps prevent small bowel loops from entering the deep connes of the pelvis and may reduce the incidence of com­plicated small bowel obstruction or perineal hernia. The omental pedicle ap is created by releasing attachments of the omentum from the left side of the transverse colon and gastroepiploic arcades.
The gastroepiploic artery is identied and pre­served just lateral to the falciform ligament. The energy instrument is used to open the omentum just inferior to the gastroepiploic artery at this point. The energy device is used to continue along the inferior aspect of the gastroepiploic artery to the splenic exure, freeing all the attach­ments from the lateral left side wall and spleen.
The omentum is also separated from the colon, starting at the midline. Either electrocau­tery or bipolar is used to free the omentum from the colon, again continuing to the splenic exure as described in Splenic Flexure Mobilization, Chap. 4. This should completely free the omen­tum from the left side, allowing a signicant, tension-free extension down into the pelvis.
The omental pedicle can be lengthened to lie down the left paracolic gutter into the pelvis. It can be secured with a 2-0 absorbable braided suture to prevent migration after closure.
Step 10: Colostomy Creation andClosure
The colonic limb is then grasped with an atrau­matic clamp through the right lower quadrant port, and attention is turned to making the colos­tomy site (Tip 7.8).
Tip 7.8 Timing of Stoma Creation
c
The creation of the stoma can be delayed until after the perineal phase of the operation. Advantages include ability to continue dissection from the abdomen and ability to irrigate the pelvis fully. Disadvantages are decreased efficiency and return to the abdomen after “dirty” phase of the operation.
The stoma site is created with excision of a nickel-sized piece of skin and vertical incision of the subcutaneous tissues. Appendiceal retractors facilitate visualization and separation (Tip 7.9). Separate the fascia vertically and spread the mus­cles using a Kelly clamp. The muscles should be spread and not cut. The peritoneum is then scored, which will desufate the abdomen. If the bowel is close to the incision, the peritoneum can be lifted using Kelly clamps and then incised. The tissues are opened just enough to admit the colonic conduit without vascular compromise; excessive dilation should be avoided as this will predispose the patient to hernia.
Tip 7.9 Pneumoperitoneum
c
During Trephine Creation
Maintain pneumoperitoneum during creation of the stoma incision. This will help prevent inadvertent injury to the bowel as the peritoneum is opened.

B. J. Champagne and M. L. Manwaring
A Babcock clamp is placed through the stoma incision, and the colon is passed from the laparo­scopic grasper to the Babcock (Tip 7.10). The end of the colon is grasped, extracted, and main­tained with a Babcock clamp. After re­insufation, evaluate mesentery to ensure the colon and vascular supply have not been twisted. Follow the free edge of the mesentery to verify absence of mesocolic torsion.
Tip 7.10 Recreating Pneumo-
c
peritoneum with an Incision
If the colon is dropped or there is cause for concern for twisting of the mesentery, the stoma incision can be temporarily closed with penetrating towel clamps.
A JP drain is placed in the pelvis through the right lower quadrant port site. The uterine retrac­tion suture is released, if present, and hemostasis at all sites is assured. Trocars are removed, clos­ing ports larger than 5 mm with a Carter­Thompson suture passer or 5/8 circular needle. The skin is closed at the laparoscopic port sites and the wounds covered with a towel. Mature the stoma by amputating the staple line and sewing the bowel wall to the dermis circumferentially using an absorbable suture.
Step 11: Perineal Dissection
The patient is transitioned to a high lithotomy posi­tion, with the table raised, to allow the surgeon and assistant to sit. A small Mayo stand cover or sterile sheet is secured to the surgeon’s gown and the drapes to protect instruments from dropping off of the eld. A headlight assures adequate lighting. Morbidly obese patients sometimes benet from a single retraction suture on each buttock to expose the dissection site. A Lone Star Retractor can also be used to facilitate exposure in a complete extra­levator dissection (Fig.7.11 and Tip 7.11). Palpate both ischium and the coccyx and mark the skin for a cylindrical resection. The location and extent of
the dissection is based on pathology and preopera­tive imaging. Inadequate resection can result in close or positive margins. If primary closure is not possible, secondary to radiation changes or laxity of tissue, consider use of a myocutaneous muscle ap.
There are few external landmarks for use in this

portion of the surgery. Using a marking pen, trace the planned borders of the skin incision. Electrocautery is used to score the dissection mark­ings (Tip 7.12). After the dermis has been incised, move the Lonestar (R) retractor into the dermis for improved retraction. As the dissection continues in a cylindrical shape, larger deep retractors including Deaver’s may be necessary. Intermittently relax the retraction, and pay close attention to the shape of the developing specimen to avoid coning-in or waisting of the specimen (Fig.7.12).
Tip 7.12 Begin with Posterior
c
Dissection
Working posteriorly first can prevent bleeding into the dissection plane and also generally provides the most consistent landmark, the coccyx, for borders of dissection.
Initially when dissecting through the ischio­rectal spaces, working circumferentially can maintain the surgeon’s sense of the specimen shape and allow for necessary adjustments. Concentrating on the posterior dissection toward the coccyx provides a landmark as the dissection deepens. Make an incision through the ligamen­tous attachments to the coccyx to open the supra-

levator space. This should promptly expose the abdominal dissection planes. From this location, extend the incision anterolateral by hooking the levator musculature with a cocked nger or right­angle clamp, and divide the muscle and soft tis­sue with electrocautery.
The anterior dissection is taken through the rectovaginal septum in women or through the perineal muscles and to the retro-prostatic plane in men. Frequent digital vaginal exams can help avoid inadvertent injury during the dissection. In men, the urinary catheter can be palpated as the

urethra passes posterior to the symphysis pubis and is an important structure to avoid during the dissection. Avoid blunt dissection of the levators to decrease the risk of entering the tumor. The dis­section is carried anteriorly on both sides staying wide to maintain a cylindrical specimen, leaving only anterior attachments. At this point, the speci­men can be folded posteriorly and pulled through the aperture, leaving the anterior prostatic or vagi­nal attachments. Amputate the specimen in the proper plane from this nal attachment.
After assurance of hemostasis, close the incision with interrupted braided absorbable sutures in layers from the perineum. The leva­tors cannot be approximated given xed lateral attachments to the pelvis. Perform closure of the fatty layers, and position a Penrose drain from the pelvis to the inferior portion of the wound. Prior to skin closure, the wound is irri­gated with a Pulsavac (R) (Zimmer) lavage of triple antibiotic solution (1 liter). The perineal skin is closed with 0 nonabsorbable monola­ment in a vertical mattress technique. Dry gauze dressing is applied and the legs returned to a low lithotomy position.
Special Considerations
Umbilicus
Anterior superio iliac spine
Pubic
Fig. 7.13 The stoma triangle. The stoma triangle, bounded by the umbilicus, pubis symphysis, and anterior superior iliac spine, is the ideal location for a stoma for many patients
Additional considerations include skin creases as possible and prior abdominal incisions. With supine, sitting, and standing positions, the site should have a at surface amenable to pouching. It should be visible to the patient, and not inter­fere with pant lines, belts of daily activities.
Ideally, a site is selected at a preoperative visit designed to educate the patient about postopera­tive colostomy care.
Preoperative Stoma Marking
Preoperative preparation for a laparoscopic abdominal perineal resection must include left­sided preoperative stoma site marking, preferably by a stoma therapist. Placement of the stoma is critical, as this will be a permanent colostomy.
Although every patient is different, a stoma triangle is a well-known concept that facilitates placement of a stoma. A triangle is drawn between the umbilicus, the pubis, and the ante­rior superior iliac spine. This locates the stoma within the supporting rectus sheath. A location within this stoma triangle is ideal for many patients (Fig.7.13).
Varying theApproach
Prone Dissection
In the setting of morbid obesity, limited hip mobility, or tumors requiring an extra-levator dissection based on preoperative MR imaging, a prone perineal-rst approach has distinct advantages. Though it adds to positioning time, visualization is superior, and an assistant can be more effective in assisting with exposure. When performed, this approach begins with the patient in the prone jackknife position with the buttocks taped apart to optimize exposure. The perineal dissection, as outlined above, is
7 Abdominal Perineal Resection
123
performed rst and taken above the levators into the mesorectal plane. The perineum is then sealed with an occlusive dressing and the patient rotated to the lithotomy position. The trans-abdominal dissection is then performed as outlined.
T4b Tumors
T4b tumors can also be challenging laparoscopi­cally, but may be possible. In a woman who has had a prior hysterectomy, the vagina can be removed en bloc laparoscopically. The vagina can be entered from above with the assistance of a sponge stick in the introitus held by a second assistant standing between the legs. With the sponge stick in place, the vaginal apex can be opened with monopolar cautery. The vaginal walls can then be divided with bipolar energy down each side. This part of the dissection needs to be reserved until after the posterior and lateral dissection is complete to prevent a loss of pneu­moperitoneum. In a thin female, this is easily
accomplished from the perineum, but in a mor­bidly obese patient, it helps to do this from the abdomen. T4b tumors into the prostatic capsule or seminal vesicle should not be approached laparoscopically.
Intra-levator Dissection
Recently, advocates of the complete extra-leva­tor approach have espoused this technique be used in all cases to obtain superior oncologic outcomes. The data has not substantiated this claim and each case should be looked at indi­vidually. In elderly patients with several comor­bidities and a tumor limited to one location, the radial margin should be wide on the side of the tumor, but it is not necessary on the contralat­eral side. A massive defect may warrant a com­plex closure with a ap, adding time and complexity to the operation. The importance of a solid radial margin and complete TME cannot be overstated, but each patient must be evalu­ated independently.
