    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    The transsphincteric approach offers excellent rectal exposure for various conditions, including tumors and fistulas. Anatomical repair preserves normal defecation and continence, with rare severe complications when performed skillfully.

    Area of Science:

    • Colorectal Surgery
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • The transsphincteric approach provides access to the caudal rectum and anal canal.
    • This surgical technique involves a left parasacral incision and potential sphincter division.

    Observation:

    • 106 rectal surgeries were performed using the sphincter-splitting parasacral approach between 1974 and 1985.
    • The technique was applied to benign tumors, fistulas, traumatic lesions, low-lying malignant tumors, and rectosigmoid prolapse.

    Findings:

    • Very good results were achieved for benign conditions, fistulas, and traumatic lesions.
    • Radical resection of select low-malignant tumors and lymph node staging are feasible.
    • Effective treatment for rectosigmoid prolapse and high fistulae was demonstrated.

    Implications:

    • The transsphincteric approach is a versatile and effective surgical option for complex anorectal conditions.
    • Preservation of normal defecation and continence is a key outcome of anatomical repair.
    • Minimizing severe complications relies on accurate patient selection and surgical expertise.
