Intersphincteric Resection and Coloanal Anastomosis in Treatment of Distal Rectal Cancer

[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...

Edematous and painful external hemorrhoids following intersphincteric resection for low rectal cancer

Intersphincteric resection (ISR) is the ultimate sphincter saving procedure for low rectal cancer. Hemorrhoids are a common benign condition. We present and discuss a case of ISR which developed painful edematous hemorrhoids after ISR. A 62-year-old female with low rectal cancer received neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy with successful down staging of tumor before undergoing robot assisted ISR wit...

Multicentre study of robotic intersphincteric resection for low rectal cancer.

BACKGROUND There is a lack of information regarding the oncological safety of robotic intersphincteric resection (ISR) with coloanal anastomosis. The objective of this study was to compare the long-term feasibility of robotic compared with laparoscopic ISR. METHODS Between January 2008 and May 2011, consecutive patients who underwent robotic or laparoscopic ISR with coloanal anastomosis from ...
