title: [Preservation of sexual innervation in the surgery of rectal cancers].
abstract: Eighteen out of 55 rectal resections for cancer included preservation of sexual innervation, which was complete in 17 cases and partial in one case. Fourteen patients were evaluated by questionnaire one year after resection; 10 out of 14 (71.4%) did not report any sexual disorders.
