The Double Stapling Technique for Sphincter Preservation Operation in mediate-low Rectal Carcinoma / 医学研究杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the effect of double stapling technique for sphincter preservation operation in mediate-low rectal carcinoma.Methods The resection through double stapling technique for sphincter preservation approach was performed on 30 patients with mediate-low rectal carcinoma from January 2004 to November 2007.The distance between the anal verge and the lower margin of the tumor was 4～8cm(averaged 6.5 cm),including 22 patients in Dukes A stage,6 Dukes B and 2 Dukes C.Results Fecal continences were preserved successfully in all patients.2 cases had got anastomotic narrowing(6.6%) after operation.At a median follow-up of 46 months,two patients had local recurrences(6.6%).There was no urinary dysfunction in this series.Conclusion Double stapling technique for sphinceter preservation operation was feasible and safe,provide a original operative style for mediate-low rectal carcinoma.
