Lateral Pelvic Lymph Node Dissection for Rectal Neuroendocrine Neoplasms Undergoing Laparoscopic Total Mesenteric Excision

Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the metastatic status of lateral pelvic lymph nodes in rectal neuroendocrine neoplasms (rNENs) undergoing laparoscopic total mesenteric excision (TME). The hypothesis is that the rate of lateral lymph node metastasis is underestimated in rNENs undergoing TME, necessitating concurrent lateral Pelvic lymph node dissection.
