Journal ArticleDOI
Defunctioning stoma reduces symptomatic anastomotic leakage after low anterior resection of the rectum for cancer : A randomized multicenter trial
TL;DR: Defunctioning loop stoma decreased the rate of symptomatic anastomotic leakage and is therefore recommended in low anterior resection for rectal cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk factors for anastomotic leakage after anterior resection of the rectum
TL;DR: The aim of this study was to identify risk factors for anastomotic leakage in anterior resection and to assess the role of a temporary stoma and the need for urgent re‐operations in relation to anastOMotic leakage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Randomized comparison of straight and colonic J pouch anastomosis after low anterior resection.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared clinical bowel function and complications of a low anterior resection with either a straight or colonic J pouch anastomosis, and found that urgency and frequent bowel movements after rectal resection after low anastoma have been related to the loss of rectal
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Recurrence in patients randomised between three different radiotherapy regimens with respect to fractionation and time to surgery is studied in patients with a biopsy-proven adenocarcinoma of the rectum from 18 Swedish hospitals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Local recurrence following total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer.
TL;DR: Actuarial analysis showed a significant reduction in local recurrence rate and an increase in crude survival at 4 years in group 2 compared with group 1, and total mesorectal excision reduces the local Recurrence rate after excision of rectal cancer.
