Résumé
Objective To evaluate the role of curved-cutter-stapler in anus-preserving for low rectal cancer.Methods The clinical data of 32 patients with low rectal cancer from June 2007 to December 2008 who received low anterior resection and ultra low anterior resection by using curved-cutter-stapler were reviewed retrospectively.Results No operation death case,complete cutting and safe closure in all cases,one case was complicated with anastomotic leakage,and one case of rectovaginal fistula.Thirty patients were followed up 4 to 22 months after the operation,with an average time of 12.6 months,no hemorrhea of pelvic cavity and anastomotic stoma or anastomotic stenosis cases.Conclusion Curved-cutter-stapler has the advantages of complete cutting,safe closure and low complications,and easy being used in anus-preserving operation for low rectal cancer,which can increase the rate of anus-preserving.
