Surgical treatment for rectal cancer now offers sphincter-sparing options, reducing abdominoperineal resections without compromising survival. Focus is shifting to optimizing functional outcomes and quality of life post-surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Oncology
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery
  • Rectal Cancer Treatment

Background:

  • Surgical techniques and tumor biology knowledge have evolved for rectal cancer treatment.
  • Historically, abdominoperineal excision was standard; advances allow more sphincter-preserving options.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the algorithm for surgical treatment of rectal cancer.
  • To analyze the shift towards sphincter-sparing procedures and their oncological/functional outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Review of surgical treatment algorithms for rectal cancer.
  • Analysis of trends in operative procedure selection based on tumor characteristics and preoperative function.

Main Results:

  • A decrease in abdominoperineal resections and an increase in sphincter-sparing procedures (low anterior resection, intersphincteric abdomino-peranal resection) are observed.

  • Sphincter preservation is achievable without jeopardizing long-term survival, but functional outcomes require careful assessment.

    • Conclusions:

    • The current algorithm prioritizes oncological safety and functional outcomes in rectal cancer surgery.
    • Future research should aim to further enhance long-term survival and functional results, focusing on objective parameters and patient quality of life.
