Objective:
To discuss the feasibility of anus-preserving laparoscopic rectal resection for lower rectal cancer.
Methods:
We retrospectively analyzed 75 patients with lower rectal cancer treated with anus-preserving laparoscopic rectal resection.
Results:
All the 75 patients were successfully operated and rehabilitatedly discharged. In the follow-up period in 68 patients, all lived healthy except 5 patients with hepatic metastasis and 1 with in-situ recurrence 1 year after the operation.
Conclusion:
With the development of laparoscopic technique and laparoscopic total mesorectum excision technique as well as the application of stapler, the operation field is expanded, which benefits the separation and anastomosis of the lower intestine, with more chances to preserve anus.
