Abstract:
Since the introduction of ventral mesh rectopexy for rectal prolapse, concern exists as to how this may interfere with subsequent rectal cancer surgery. To our knowledge, this is the first report of total mesorectal excision for cancer after such a rectopexy. We discuss surgical technique, pitfalls encountered and oncological outcome.
