[Extraperitoneal rectal cancer surgery].
Despite recent advances in radiation and chemotherapy, surgical resection remains the only potentially curative procedure for rectal cancer. The introduction of total mesorectal excision with autonomic pelvic nerve sparing and new modalities in restoring bowel continuity has improved significantly the prognosis as well as life quality of rectal cancer patients. Better results will be achieved only with a correct multidisciplinary approach. The Authors report their experience with surgical treatment of extraperitoneal rectal cancer, examine some important technical innovation and emphasize the oncological principles of radical surgery.
