title: [Mesorectal resection in oncologic surgery].
abstract: A surgical technique to "en bloc" resect the mesorectum while performing an anterior resection is here described. The procedure aims at preserving those nerves whose injury is responsible for a series of neurological sequalae, which affect the patient's quality of life. Fifteen dissections were carried out in order to demonstrate the possibility to perform an accurate mesorectal lymphadenectomy while preserving, in most cases, the nervi erigentes and, in some cases, the hypogastric plexus.
