Brief summary

This study compared robot-assisted total mesorectal excision (RTME) and laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (LTME) with regard to urinary function, sexual function and sphincter- preservation outcomes for low rectal cancer.

Detailed description

Urinary and sexual dysfunction are recognized complications of rectal cancer surgery in men. This study compared robot-assisted total mesorectal excision (RTME) and laparoscopic total mesorectal excision(LTME) with regard to these functional outcomes.Sphincter- preservation outcomes for low rectal cancer was observed as well.

Interventions

PROCEDURErobot-assisted total mesorectal excision

The Da Vinci Surgical System may help to protect subtle anatomical structure and provide more functional protection when compared to laparoscopic surgery. This study aimed to compare RTME and laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (LTME) for rectal cancer with regard to Urinary, sexual function and sphincter- preservation outcomes.

Traditional laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (LTME) for rectal cancer.
