Background And Aims: Disturbance of bowel function is not uncommon following low anterior resection, but the effect of low anterior resection on the elderly has seldom been documented. This study investigated the functional outcome in elderly patients following low anterior resection for carcinoma of the rectum.
Patients And Methods: The study included 87 patients with carcinoma of middle and lower rectum who underwent curative low anterior resection with total mesorectal excision and remained alive without recurrence for at least 6 months following the resection or closure of stoma.
