Abstract:
Objective To study the clinical efficacy of anus-preserving rectectomy by using telescopic anastomosis of colon and rectal mucosa for the middle and lower rectal cancer. Methods A retrospective analysis was carried out in 402 cases with middle and lower rectal cancer undergoing telescopic anastomosis for anus-preserving procedure, including 241 males and 161 females, age ranging from 21 to 99 years, averaging at 55. 7 years. The distal margins of the tumors were within 6 - 9 cm to anal verge. According to TNM staging, there were 123 cases in Stage Ⅰ , 244 cases in Stage Ⅱ , 31 cases in Stage Ⅲ,and 4 cases in Stage Ⅳ. Results 345(345/402, 85. 8% ) cases were followed up, the median time of the follow-up was 6. 1 years. Postoperative complications included 17(4.2%) cases of stomal leakage, 11(2.7% ) cases of stomal stenosis. All patients recovered normal defecating function 12-24 weeks post operation. Local recurrence rate was 6. 3% (22/345). Hepatic and lung metastasis was 13. 6% (47/345) and 2. 6% (9/345)respectively. The five year survival rate was 68. 7% (112/163). Conclusions Anuspreserving rectectomy by using telescopic anastomosis is safe and effective procedure to treat middle and lower rectal cancer, with the preservation of anal function and without the increasing rate of local recurrence.
