[Application of domestically made endoscopic stapling instrument for laparoscopic assisted rectal cancer resection].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the safety and feasibility of domestically made endoscopic stapling instrument in laparoscopic assisted rectal cancer resection (Dixon).


METHODS
Sixty-four patients with rectal cancer were randomly divided into the research group (35 cases) to receive laparoscopic assisted rectal cancer resection using ENDO RLC general endoscopic linear cutter and single-use loading unit and circular staplers with staples (from REACH medical equipment co.LTD) and the control group (29 cases) to receive surgery with the corresponding products widely used (fom Johnson and Johnson Medical Euipment C.Ltd). The clinical data of the two groups were compared.


RESULTS
Satisfactory therapeutic effects were obtained in all the cases. The two groups showed no significant differences in the operative time, intraoperative anastomosis success rate, or postoperative complications (anastomotic bleeding, leakage, or stricture) between the two groups (P>0.05), but the average cost of endoscopic stapling instrument was significantly lower in the research group (6604.31 ± 699.95 vs 7822.28 ± 576.98 RMB Yuan, P<0.05).


CONCLUSIONS
The domestic endoscopic stapling instrument is safe, effective and less costly for laparoscopic assisted rectal cancer resection.
