Low rectal cancer

Diseases of the Colon & Rectum, 1998
The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of combined radiotherapy and chemotherapy (leucovorin and 5-fluorouracil) on the treatment of potentially resectable low rectal cancer using the following end points: 1) toxicity of this combined modality regimen; 2) clinical and pathologic response rate and local control; 3) down-staging of the tumor ...

Transvaginal low anterior resection for rectal cancer

Techniques in Coloproctology, 2008
Adenocarcinoma of the lower rectum can be resected with a sphincter-sparing procedure but exposure of the lower pelvis may be difficult and sphincter function may be compromised. We have performed a low anterior resection for rectal cancer in a 69-year-old woman with mobilisation of the tumour and anastomosis performed transvaginally without a covering

Laparoscopic Intersphincteric Resection for Low Rectal Cancer

World Journal of Surgery, 2011
AbstractBackgroundLaparoscopic intersphincteric resection (ISR) after neoadjuvant chemoradiation is helpful in the management of patients with low rectal cancer. With the advent of this technique, the need for performance of abdominoperineal resection seems to have decreased in patients with very low rectal tumors.

Patients' preferences for low rectal cancer surgery

European Journal of Surgical Oncology (EJSO), 2008
To elicit surgery preferences of patients who have experience with either low anterior resection (LAR) or abdominoperineal resection (APR) and its outcomes, to support decision-making in future patients with resectable rectal cancer.One hundred and twenty-two patients were interviewed. Surgery preference was assessed in two ways. In the treatment trade-

A Novel Approach for the Resection of Low Rectal Cancer

Surgical Laparoscopy, Endoscopy & Percutaneous Techniques, 2012
Our novel approach is a hybrid between cylindrical abdominoperineal resection and single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS). We report the clinical application of this technique and present preliminary data that shows this approach to be an effective tool for resection of low rectal cancer.Twenty patients with endoscopy-considered and biopsy-proven ...

Total Mesorectal Excision for Rectal Cancer: Difference in Outcome for Low and High Rectal Cancer

Diseases of the Colon & Rectum, 2005
This prospective study was designed to assess the outcome through the first five years after the introduction of total mesorectal excision in 1993 in a Norwegian central hospital, with special regard to the difference between low (< or =6 cm from anal verge) and high (>6 cm) rectal cancers.A total of 140 patients (81 males; median age, 64 (range, 29-87)

The Effectiveness and Safety of Rectal Modular Resection in Low Rectal Cancer: A Retrospective Study

Journal of Laparoendoscopic & Advanced Surgical Techniques, 2023
Background: Described by Heald in 1982, total mesorectal excision (TME) is now routinely performed as the standard procedure for mid-low rectal cancer, with remarkable decrease in local recurrence and improved oncology outcome. However, the integrity of the resected mesentery and damage to autonomic nerves still

New perspective in the treatment of low rectal cancer:

Diseases of the Colon & Rectum, 1994
Presently abdominoperineal resection still remains the most diffuse modality of treatment of low rectal cancer. However, a new surgical approach is now available to avoid such a demolitive surgery and a definitive colostomy.From March 1990 to March 1993, 58 total rectal resections were performed in 55 patients affected with primary or recurring cancers
