Minimally invasive, 'en-bloc' seminal vesicle excision for locally advanced rectal adenocarcinoma : surgical technique and short-term outcomes

© 2022 Royal Australasian College of Surgeons..

BACKGROUND: Isolated seminal vesicle invasion is a rare occurrence in patients with locally advanced rectal cancers. This study describes the surgical technique and the perioperative outcomes of minimally invasive 'en-bloc' seminal vesicle excision, preserving the bladder and the prostate.

METHODS: A retrospective review of 23 consecutive patients who underwent minimally invasive, en-bloc resection of seminal vesicles for locally advanced, non-metastatic rectal adenocarcinoma between May 2016 and November 2021. Perioperative outcomes and short-term oncological outcomes were defined.

RESULTS: Eighteen patients underwent a laparoscopic procedure while five received a robotic resection. All patients received preoperative radiation with or without consolidation chemotherapy. The median age was 42 years (range 20-64 years) and the median hospital stay was 8 days (range 3-19 days), respectively. Serious complications (Clavien-Dindo ≥ IIIb) were seen in six patients (26.1%). Two patients (8.7%) had an involved circumferential resection margin. At a median follow up of 19 months (range 2-52 months), four patients developed recurrences. The 2-year overall and disease-free survival was 84.4% and 73.6%, respectively.

CONCLUSION: Minimally invasive, en-bloc resection of one or both seminal vesicles for locally advanced rectal adenocarcinoma, is feasible in a select group of patients with acceptable morbidity and short-term outcomes.
