Abstract:
Objective:To understand the status and influencing factors of the bowel function in patients with rectal cancer after sphincter-preserving surgery, and then to improve the patients′ quality of life.Methods:From January 2017 to April 2020, a total of 179 patients with rectal cancer after sphincter-preserving surgery in Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center were selected as study subjects. General questionnaire and the scale about bowel function of patients with rectal cancer after sphincter-preserving surgery were used to investigate.Results:The total score of bowel function in patients with rectal cancer after sphincter-preserving surgery was (71.82±7.67), and the average score of all the items was (3.99 ± 0.43). In all dimensions of intestinal function, the average score of "defecation affected by diet" was the highest (4.39 ± 0.80), followed by "frequent and urgent defecation" (4.22 ± 0.49), and the average score of "defecation paresthesia" was the lowest (3.03 ± 0.67). Tumor distance from the anal border was the influencing factor of bowel function in patients with rectal cancer after sphincter-preserving surgery ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The bowel function of patients with rectal cancer after sphincter-preserving surgery was well, while the bowel function of patients with rectal cancer after sphincter-preserving surgery with the distance between the tumor and the lower edge of the anus <5.0 cm was relatively poor.
