Abstract

BackgroundThe GOD VISION wireless smart glass-shaped monitor (INBYTE) was used in the treatment of an elderly patient with mixed breathing disorder undergoing transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS) for low rectal cancer under lumbar anesthesia.MethodAfter wearing the GOD VISION wireless smart glass-shaped monitor, we attached it to the Gel POINT Path® (Applied Medical). The tumor was surgically removed from all layers of the rectum using an ENDOPATH Electrosurgery PROBE PLUS II System® (a spatula-type electric scalpel) and the site was closed after sufficient washing.ResultsThe total operation time was 93 min, and the estimated blood loss was 6 mL. The patient was discharged without complications on postoperative day 14. No local recurrence or distant metastasis in the 7 months after the operation. The patient remained in a good condition with the preservation of the anal function.ConclusionsIt is necessary to accumulate cases and to perform long-term follow-up. In addition, the anal side operators are able to operate without discomfort. In the present case, the GOD VISION wireless smart glass-shaped monitor allowed the TAMIS operation to be performed more comfortably.

Highlights

  • The curative methods that are used in the treatment of early rectal cancer include endoscopic excision [1], local excision, and total mesorectal excision (TME) with the lymph node dissection

  • It may be difficult to be performed TaTME in cases involving elderly patients or patients who have previously undergone surgery for rectal cancer

  • We introduced a procedure wherein the monitor is reflected in a smart glass by attaching a GOD VISION device
