Reconstruction Techniques after Proctectomy: What's the Best?

Abstract: There are 40,000 new rectal cancer cases diagnosed each year in the United States, representing the second most common gastrointestinal malignancy (behind colon cancer). With the advent of sphincter preserving techniques, patients with mid and low colorectal cancers enjoy the benefits of better postoperative functional outcomes and quality of life; however, controversy exists over which reconstructive technique is superior in restoring bowel continuity. Construction of a straight coloanal anastomosis is techni… Show more

“…Moreover, straight coloanal anastomosis in humans has been historically associated with relatively poor postoperative bowel function because of loss of the rectal reservoir. (de la Fuente and Mantyh, 2007). Another limitation of the coloanal reconstruction technique is that it is depending on the length of formed colon.…”
