This surgery is known as the gold standard for low rectal cancer radical surgery and greatly increases the five-year survival rate of patients. However, the aunt who danced did not undergo it precisely because it does not spare the anus.

A few teachers, upon hearing Xie Wanying’s suggestion, were not surprised. It should be said that many doctors have long wanted to try using laparoscopy for this surgery. The advantages of laparoscopy are evident—it is better for patients, as it can avoid the common intestinal adhesion in traditional surgery, and patients recover quickly due to the smaller incision. However, using laparoscopy inevitably poses two problems: one is that the surgery takes much longer than the open surgery, and the other is whether the tumor can be completely removed. The advantage of this surgery lies in its thoroughness—can laparoscopy ensure thoroughness?

Xie Wanying presented her bold idea to the teachers, “The foundation of a complete tumor excision lies in not sparing the anus, not whether it is an open surgery. Moreover, traditional surgery with its excessive damage might suppress patients’ immune systems. Laparoscopic surgery undoubtedly has advantages in this respect. Thus, based on such academic theory, foreign surgeons continue to daringly try various surgeries using laparoscopy.”
