Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect of total mesorectal excision in radical operation of rectal carcinoma.Methods From 1997 to 2007,126 consecutive patients with middle and inferior rectal carcinoma underwent surgical operation according to the principle of total mesorectal excision.Results Two patients(1.6%) died of postoperative pulmonary infection,and postoperative anastomotic leakage occurred in 2 cases(1.6%).The postoperative follow-up of 1-5 years showed that local recurrence rate 2 years after surgical operation was 4%(5/126),the 3-,5-year survival rate was 93.6%(116/124) and 84.7%(105/124),respectively.Conclusions Total mesorectal excision can decrease the frequency of postoperative local recurrence of rectal cancer without increasing complications as long as its correct indications are selected.
