Rectal cancer surgery

The most common surgical procedures for rectal cancer include local resection, which is suitable for early stage rectal cancer limited to mucosa or submucosa, and highly differentiated rectal cancer. The second type is abdominal-perineal combined rectal cancer radical surgery, also known as Miles surgery, which requires a stoma in the left lower abdomen and requires diversion. The third type is the most commonly used rectal cancer radical surgery at this stage, called transabdominal rectal cancer radical surgery, also known as low anterior resection, Dixon surgery, which is an operation that preserves the anus. In addition, there is also a kind of surgery called transabdominal resection of rectal cancer, proximal stoma distal closure surgery, Hartmann surgery, used for rectal cancer patients who are generally poor in general condition, unable to tolerate Miles surgery or acute intestinal obstruction, and not suitable for dixon surgery. After general rectal cancer surgery, adjuvant chemotherapy, radiotherapy and other comprehensive treatments are required according to pathological conditions.
