Abstract:
Objective To study the effect of laparoscopic surgery on the quality of life in patients with middle and low rectal cancer.Methods 108 cases with middle and low rectal cancer in accordance with the number table,were randomly divided into two groups.54 patients in the observation group were operated through laparoscopic surgery and 54 patients in the control group received traditional open surgery.The patients were followed up for 6 months,the patients' quality of life were assesed.Results The operative time,blood loss and length of hospital stay in the observation group were less than the control group (P < 0.01).The lymph node dissection between the two groups had no significant difference(P >0.05).47 patients in the observation group were rectal sphincter preservation,the rate was 87.0%,37 patients in the control group with rectal sphincter preservation,the rate was 68.5 %,the difference between the two groups was significant (x2 =4.92,P < 0.05).The patients'quality of life after surgery in two groups was increased than before surgery,and the observation group increased more significantly than the control group(P < 0.05).Conclusion Laparoscopic surgery can significantly improve the quality of life in patients with middle and low rectal cancer.
