title: [Our surgical choice in the treatment of tumors of the rectum].
abstract: The AA. suggest to rationalise the criterion of choice in the operation of rectum tumour. According to the AA., the choice is between abdomino-perineal and anterior resection operation. In accordance with that acknowledgement and the respect of the precise oncological and anatomical presuppositions, they define the heart of the tumour and regulated their surgical conduct. In practice they perform the anterior resection for the tumours situated between the superior and inferior haemorrhoidal arteries which, after dissection, can be found at least 8-9 cm. from the anus, while they always deal with the abdomino-perineal the neoplasms which develop in the area of inferior and middle haemorrhoidal arteries.
