Description for Intersphincteric Resection for Low Rectal Tumors
Paperback. This volume describes a new method of salvaging the sphincter in surgery for rectal cancer. Where before rectal tumors were often treated with amputation-understandably unpopular with patients-this method allows sphincter salvage even in low tumors. Editor(s): Schiessel, Rudolf; Metzger, Peter. Num Pages: 204 pages, 30 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: MJCL; MJCL1; MJH; MNG; MNK. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 279 x 210 x 11. Weight in Grams: 514.
The work describes a new method of sphincter salvage in surgery of rectal cancer. Low tumors of the rectum are traditionally treated with amputation of the rectum. However, this operation is not well-received by patients, since it results in a permanent colostomy. By contrast, intersphincteric resection allows sphincter salvage even in low tumors and is now widely accepted among experts in the field of colorectal surgery. The book will describe the basics (pathology,physiology, radiology) as well as the surgical technique and its different modifications.
