Objective To introduce a self-made device to suspend the uterus in female laparoscopic radical rectectomy, and analyze its clinical application effect.

Methods Clinical data of 60 female patients underwent laparoscopic radical rectectomy from January 2016 to April 2019 in the Department of General Surgery, Success Hospital Affiliated To Xiamen University were analyzed retrospectively, and divided into observation and control groups. In the observation group (28), the self-made suspension uterine device was used in laparoscopic radical rectectomy in order to solve the difficulty of exposing pelvic surgical field covered by the prolapse of the uterus. The intraoperative and postoperative outcomes of the two groups were compared to evaluate the effect of the device.

Results The operative time and postoperative anal discharge time of the observation group were significantly shorter than that of the control group(P < 0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in intraoperative blood loss, number of lymph node dissection, and incidence of postoperative complications.

Conclusions The self-made device to suspend the uterine in female laparoscopic radical rectectomy is easy to operate, with high security, and is cheap, meanwhile, it is beneficial to pelvic operation field exposure, reduces the risk and difficulty of operation, shortens operation time and postoperative anal exhaust time, and promotes postoperative recovery.
