ABSTRACT

Surgery of the distal half of the rectum has changed considerably in the last decades; new technical procedures have made possible the conservation of the sphincters in a considerable number of patients. We present the most significant factors of this change in surgical approach. The supporting pilars of the change have been the possibility of automatic sutures (staplers), the reduction of the distal margin and the fact that the rate of complications is similar to that of the abdomino-perineal resection. We review the complications of the surgical treatment (stenosis and fistulas) and the advantages and disadvantages of the instrumental sutures and new surgical procedures.
