Anatomical, surgical and clinical considerations related with operative procedures performed in combined abdominal and perineal approaches for the treatment of lower rectal cancer
Abstract:Background and aim Combined abdominal and perineal (anterior or posterior) approaches used in lower rectal cancer surgery have been based on similar anatomical and surgical features. The main aim of this manuscript is to evaluate the results of combined approaches performed for lower rectal cancer and to comment on surgical and anatomical features of the operations.
