Application of double stapling device in anus-preserving operation of low rectal cancer / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the role of double stapling device in anus-preserving operation of low rectal cancer. Methods Retrospective study was used to analyze the experience of double stapling device in anus-preserving operation of low rectal cancer for 79 patients between March 1999 to March 2003. Results 79 cases in the group all had the radical resection, no patient died. Complications included anastomosis fistula in 2 patients(2.5%),anastomosis stenosis in 3 patients(3.8%). The defecation function after surgery,the patients who received colonic Jpouch or transverse coloplasty pouch were much better than those not did. Five years survival rate 63.3 %, anastomosis recurrence rate 10.1% and recurrence rate in the pelvic soft tissue was 5.1%. Conclusion Anus-preserving operation of low rectal cancer can accomplished with double stapling device,and five years survival rate and local recurrence rate did not effect. Colonic J-pouch or transverse coloplasty pouch is good for improving the defecation function after anus-preserving operation.
