Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the outcomes of sphincter-sparing techniques combined with total mesorectal excision (TME) for treating anorectal adenocarcinoma, involving 93 patients over five years.
- The methods included various surgical approaches such as intersphincteric resection and assessed anal function one year post-surgery using the Per Anal Examination Scoring System (PASS).
- Results showed that while about 10.6% of patients experienced fecal incontinence, most retained normal anal tone, indicating that sphincter preservation is effective in avoiding permanent stomas and maintaining reasonable function.
