Urological involvements in pelvic oncologic surgery

Materials and methods First Group: 10 Patients (aged 35-66) operated of Anterior Rectal Resection + Aortic/Caval Lymphadenectomy examined 15 days after the surgical procedure and followed up along 4 years. The conclusion was that rectal surgery is invariably followed by urological/sexual complications. Second Group: 5 Patients (aged 25-71) operated of Anterior Rectal Resection without lymphadenextomy followed 2 years after the procedure and then periodically for a period of 5 years. The conclusion was that nonradical rectal surgery brings on urological/sexual troubles. Third Group: 12 Patients (aged 41-73) operated of Abdominoperineal Rectal Amputation started their followup 1 year after the operation and continued for a period 9 years. All of them showed severe urological/ sexual complications.
