[Proctectomy with external sphincter preservation: long-term functional results].

52 patients with the lower ampullary rectal cancer with tumor localization on the dentate line level had been operated with the use of the originally developed reconstructive technique, permitting preservation of the external anal sphincter elements and, consequently, partial continence. Colonic rectal pouch and smooth muscle cuff were performed during the neorectum and neoanus plasty. A protective stoma was performed in all cases.

[Deep cystic colitis].

From 1970 to 1990 the authors treated 4 patients with deep colitis (DCC). There were 2 males and 2 females aged from 19 to 48 years (average age 28.7 years).
