[Synchronous abdomino-perineal amputation (global evaluation of the intervention in our experience)].

In the light of their experience, the Authors examine the validity of synchronous abdomino-perineal resection. Their study population consists of 224 such operations. On the basis of the results achieved, the conclusion is reached that there is still no realistic alternative today to synchronous abdomino-perineal resection for the treatment of malignancies whose lower borders lie at a distance of less than 6.5 cm from the anal margin.
