Abstract:
The Authors report their experience, referred to the last 10 years (1980-1989), concerning 169 cases of anterior resection of the rectum. Manual and mechanical anastomoses were performed in 83 and 86 cases, respectively. Immediate and long-term complications are evaluated considering the type of anastomosis used, while results are correlated to the stage of the tumor.
