[Abdominoanal resections of the rectum in cancer]
Abstract:
The positive aspects of abdomino-anal resections are as follows: their radicality (a 5-year postoperative survival - in 64.8% of patients, a 10-year survival - in 47.3%), somewhat low rate of the postoperative mortality (5.5%), excellent, good and satisfactory function of the sphincter was noted in 79.6%. Whereas its shortcomings are necroses of the rectum following the pull-through procedures, necessitating a double-trunk colostomy to be performed in 2.4% of patients, and the impaired sphincter functioning. Some measures to reduce the mentioned complications are suggested. The study is based on 417 observations.
