Abstract EN
Background and Aim.
Ultralow anterior resection (uLAR) is a sphincter-saving procedure for very low-lying rectal cancers.
This procedure, however, has complications related to defecation which can aggravate the patient’s quality of life postoperatively.
In this study, we compared the anthropometric and nutritional parameters after uLAR and abdominoperineal resection (APR).
Methods.
We retrospectively reviewed the data of patients who underwent either uLAR or APR in 2012 for rectal cancers within 3 cm from the anal verge.
Data including body weight, body mass index (BMI), levels of total protein, albumin, and hemoglobin and lymphocyte count were analyzed.
We compared the changes of these parameters before operations to 3 years after discharge between uLAR and APR groups by ANOVA for repeated measures and Bonferroni comparison method.
Results.
After 3 years of discharge, the body weight and BMI of the APR group were fully recovered to the preoperative levels; however, those of the uLAR group did not.
The hemoglobin level in the APR group was recovered to the preoperative level within 3 months of discharge; however, that in the uLAR group was recovered after 1 year of discharge.
Conclusions.
Recovery of anthropometric and nutritional status of patients was more stable after APR than after uLAR.
These findings might indirectly reflect the low anterior syndrome effect of uLAR and help colorectal surgeons in selecting better surgical methods and in better counseling patients with very low-lying rectal cancer.
