title: Locally advanced rectal cancer: a cooperative surgical approach to a complex surgical procedure.
abstract: Single stage en bloc abdominoperineal resection and sacrectomy, with a myocutaneous flap closure is a relatively uncommon procedure. Our case study of a 77 year old man with a locally invasive rectal adenocarcinoma highlights the complex intraoperative management of such a patient.
