Objective:

To analyze the clinical efficacy of NOSES compared to CLS in rectal cancer treatment by evaluating various surgical and postoperative outcomes, including surgical time, blood loss, and complication rates.

Key Findings:
  • NOSES demonstrated reduced postoperative pain and shorter recovery times compared to CLS.
  • Lower hospitalization costs were associated with NOSES due to fewer complications.
  • Both surgical methods had comparable rates of postoperative complications.
Interpretation:

NOSES may offer a more effective and less invasive alternative to CLS for rectal cancer surgery, potentially improving patient outcomes and reducing healthcare costs.

Limitations:
  • The study was conducted at a single center, which may limit generalizability and applicability to broader populations.
  • The small sample size in the NOSES group may affect the robustness of findings and statistical power.
Conclusion:

NOSES presents a promising surgical option for rectal cancer, showing advantages in pain management and recovery, warranting further multicenter studies focusing on diverse populations and long-term outcomes for validation.
