Clinical Trial Summary

Background: An exact lymph node staging is essential in the treatment of rectal cancer. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of indigo carmine injection on the number of retrieved and positive lymph nodes after transanal total mesorectal excision (taTME). Design: This is a retrospective, non-randomised study. Settings: This study was conducted at a tertiary hospital by a multidisciplinary team. Patients: Between 2013 and 2019, patients undergoing transanal total mesorectal excision were analysed. Patients with indigo carmine injection (intervention group) were compared to those without (control group). Interventions: Transanal total mesorectal excision was performed with or without ex vivo intra-arterial indigo carmine injection. Main Outcome Measures: The number of retrieved and positive lymph nodes was the primary outcome measure.
