Laparoscopic versus open surgery for rectal neuroendocrine tumors: a multicenter real-world study
BMC Cancer(2024)
Abstract
Owing to the lack of evidence-based medical studies with large sample sizes, the surgical approach for the radical resection of rectal neuroendocrine tumors remains controversial. We retrospectively collected the medical records of patients with rectal neuroendocrine tumors who underwent radical resection at 17 large tertiary care hospitals in China between January 1, 2010, and April 30, 2022. All patients were divided into laparoscopic and open surgery groups. After propensity score matching to reduce confounders, the postoperative and oncologic outcomes were compared between the groups. We enrolled 174 patients with rectal neuroendocrine tumors who underwent radical surgery. After random matching, 124 patients were included in the comparison (62, laparoscopic surgery group; 62, open surgery group). The laparoscopic surgery group had fewer complications (14.5
