RESUMO
RACIONAL: A literatura médica aceita ressecção local como opção válida em casos selecionados de tumores de reto. A seleção dos pacientes requer exata estimativa dos riscos e avaliação pré-operatória precisa, tanto no aspecto clínico como histopatológico. OBJETIVO: Avaliar os resultados da microcirurgia endoscópica transanal em seguimento de 18 meses. MÉTODOS: De abril de 2002 a abril de 2006, 50 pacientes com tumores de reto foram submetidos a microcirurgia endoscópica transanal, selecionados por suas características clínicas e histopatológicas. Os critérios de inclusão foram: adenomas sésseis maiores do que 3 cm e menores do que 8 cm não-circunferenciais; neoplasia intra-epitelial de alto grau; carcinoma retal pT1, e em casos especiais pT2. Todos esses tumores foram submetidos ao mesmo procedimento cirúrgico. RESULTADOS: O resultado histopatológico final revelou 9 adenomas, 26 neoplasias intra-epiteliais de alto grau, 13 carcinomas (9 pT1 e 4 pT2) e 2 carcinóides. A menor idade foi de 25 anos e a maior de 92. O menor tumor ressecado tinha 64 mm² (carcinóide) e o maior (adenoma) 90 mm². O tempo médio de operação foi de 90 minutos e o de internamento 5 dias. Houve uma morte não relacionada ao método. Um paciente com carcinoma de baixo risco pT1 apresentou recidiva 18 meses após microcirurgia endoscópica transanal e foi submetido a retossigmoidectomia curativa. Foi observado tumor residual em dois pacientes e a complicação mais grave foi uma fístula retovaginal. A taxa de complicação global foi de 9 por cento. CONCLUSÃO: Atualmente a microcirurgia endoscópica transanal é a técnica de escolha para o tratamento de adenomas sésseis, neoplasias intra-epiteliais de alto grau e carcinoma retal pT1 de baixo risco.
BACKGROUND: The medical literature accepts local resection as a valuable option in selected cases of rectal tumors. Selection of patients requires an exact perioperative estimation of risks with clinical and histopathological examination. Transanal endoscopic microsurgery aims a safe resection of the tumoral area which leads up to the cure. AIM: To evaluate transanal endoscopic microsurgery results in a follow-up time of 18 months. METHODS: From April 2002 to April 2006, 50 patients with rectal tumors were submitted to transanal endoscopic microsurgery, chosen by clinical history and lesion characteristics. The inclusion criteria were: sessile adenomas larger than 3 cm and smaller than 8 cm, not circumferentially distributed; intra epithelial neoplasia of high degree; and rectal carcinoma pT1, and special cases of pT2. All these rectal tumors were submitted to the same surgical act. RESULTS: The final histopathological results reveal 9 adenoma, 26 intra-epithelial neoplasia of high degree, 13 carcinoma (9 pT1-4 pT2) and 2 carcinoid. The lowest age was 25 and the higher, 92 years-old. The smallest resected tumor had 64 mm² (carcinoid) and the largest (adenoma), 90 cm². Operating time was in average 90 minutes and the overall time statement, 5 days. There was one death not related with the method. One patient with low risk carcinoma pT1 presented recurrence 18 months after transanal endoscopic microsurgery and was submitted to curative rectosigmoidectomy. It was proven a residual tumor after local surgery in two patients and the most important complication was one recto-vaginal fistula. The overall complications rate was 9 percent. CONCLUSION: Today transanal endoscopic microsurgery is chosen as the ideal technique for the treatment of sessile adenomas, intraepithelial neoplasia of high degree and rectal carcinoma pT1.
