[Clinical application and long-term results of stapling device in rectal carcinoma].
From September 1977 to December 1987, a total of 228 patients with rectal cancer at mid and lower segments received surgical treatment by stapling device in colorectostomy. All patients were followed. Two hundred and fifteen patients have survived for 1 - 10 years after operation. The 1, 3, 5, 7, 10 year survival rates were 95.8%, 69.3%, 56.3%, 46.9% and 45.7%, respectively. Surgery by stapling device with preservation of anus gives a survival comparable to those of Miles, Dixon and Bacon operation in this cancer.
