Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Gastroenterology

Context:

  • Colorectal cancer diagnosis is improving due to screening and preoperative assessment.
  • Early surgical resection benefits from complete removal of vascular and nodal involvement.

Purpose:

  • To review surgical approaches for rectal cancer, considering reconstruction needs.
  • To highlight the importance of complete resection in early-stage colorectal cancer.

Summary:

  • Four main surgical approaches for rectal cancer are discussed: anterior resection (Dixon-Wangensteen) with total mesorectal excision (TME), colo-anal anastomosis with a J pouch, abdomino-perineal approach (Miles procedure) with colostomy, and transanal local resection.
  • Preoperative radiotherapy is beneficial for specific advanced rectal tumors (T4, T3 N2).
