Intersphincteric Resection and Coloanal Anastomosis in Treatment of Distal Rectal Cancer

Intersphincteric Resection and Coloanal Anastomosis in Treatment of Distal Rectal Cancer

In the treatment of distal rectal cancer, abdominoperineal resection is traditionally performed. However, the recognition of shorter safe distal resection line, intersphincteric resection technique has given a chance of sphincter-saving surgery for patients with distal rectal cancer during last two decades and still is being performed as an alternative choice of abdominoperineal resection. The ...

Oncological and functional outcome of intersphincteric resection and coloanal anastomosis for very low rectal cancer

Robotic intersphincteric resection and coloanal anastomosis: technical detail

Introduction Minimally invasive surgery for colorectal diseases has dramatically changed since the introduction of laparoscopic surgery. The frontline for minimally invasive surgery has further progressed since the advent of robotic surgery, with developments more pronounced for rectal cancers especially considering the perceived technological advantages of robotic surgery over the laparoscopic...

[Laparoscopic very low anterior resection with coloanal anastomosis and intersphincteric resection].

The author present the laparoscopic coloanal anastomosis and intersphincteric resection technique to treat patients with very low rectal cancer. The operative steps are: 1 - Patient positioning; 2 - Instruments and equip positioning; 3 - Insertion of the ports; 4 - Preparation of the operative field; 5 - Difining and dividing the inferior mesenteric artery and vein by the medial approach; 6 - M...
