RESUMO
A retrospective study was made of 190 patients who had anterior resections of the rectum for carcinoma at Concord Hospital between 1971 and 1981. Urinary tract infection occurred in 25 percent of patients. Bladder dysfunction occurred in 22 percent of patients, and was more frequent in those in whom the tumor was less than 10 cm from the anal verge. The patients were compared with 122 patients who had undergone abdominoperineal excisions of the rectum for carcinoma. Although the overall incidence of bladder dysfunction was the same in both groups, there was a significantly higher incidence of permanent bladder dysfunction in patients undergoing abdominoperineal excision (P = 0.00034).

The procedure of total colectomy, excision of the rectal mucosa and ileo-anal anastomosis with or without a proximal small intestinal reservoir has been described as a method of treating patients with ulcerative colitis and familial polyposis coli. The purpose of constructing a terminal ileal reservoir is to reduce the severe diarrhoea which often occurs following ileo-anal anastomosis. It is suggested that the use of a single antiperistaltic segment for this purpose would reduce the diarrhoea, and provide continence. This has been tested in the dog and the results are reported in this publication.
