Laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection (124 words) |
 | The objective of his paper is to describe the surgical technique and report our initial results in laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection. |
 | One patient with stage B2 adenocarcinoma and two patients, C1, were operated on by laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection. |
 | We conclude that laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection is similar to traditional abdominoperineal resection. |
| Types of Surgery: Rectum (335 words) |
 | Abdominoperineal resection is performed for very low lesions in the rectum (lower third--within 5 cm of anal verge). |
 | An abdominoperineal resection, in addition to removing the entire rectum, most of the sigmoid colon, the mesocolon and its regional lymph nodes, removes the anal sphincter and leaves the patient with a permanent colostomy. |
 | An Anterior/ Posterior resection preserves the anal sphincter and preserves bowel continuity by creating an anastomosis after the segment of bowel containing the tumor is removed. |
