Laparoscopic Coloanal Anastomosis for Low Rectal Cancer

OBJECTIVES Low anterior resection with hand-sutured coloanal anastomosis for low rectal cancer is technically feasible, and it does not compromise oncologic results. We describe herein the effectiveness of the operation in treating low rectal cancer by a laparoscopic approach followed by intraanal canal dissection. METHODS From February 1999 to October 1999, we used a laparoscopic procedure t...

[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...

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