Abstract: Objective To evaluate the effects of pelvic autonomic nerve preservation (PANP) during the radical resection of rectal carcinoma on the sexual and urinary function of male patients.Methods The sexual and urinary dysfunction rates from 45 male patients who undergone PANP and 45 control patients who did not undergo PANP during radical resection of rectal carcinoma were analyzed.Results In the PANP group,the incidences of erectile dysfunction,ejaculatory dysfunction and urinary dysfunction were 26.67％,24.44％ and 28.89％,respectively.But in control group,the above three rates were 57.78％,60.00％ and 62.22％ in order.The rates of these three dysfunctions significantly were different between the two groups ( x2 =8.92,11.66,10.08,P ＜ 0.01 ).Conclusion PANP during radical resection of rectal carcinoma could reduce the post-operative sexual dysfunction and urinary dysfunction.
