Abstract

The subject of this study was to examine the net effect of numerous changes in basic strategies, personnel and devices, upon the clinical courses and outcomes of rectal cancer patients. A total of 151 rectal cancer patients who underwent low anterior resection were divided into 4 groups (period 1 to 4) based upon the time period of the operation. They were compared among groups based upon the following parameters: blood loss, operation time, incidence of leakage and urinary dysfunction, incidence of ileus, duration of naso-gastric tube insertion, timing of initial oral feeding and survival. The blood loss during the operations, urinary dysfunction and duration of naso-gastric tube insertion tended to decrease in every period. Timing of initial oral feeding became faster. The operation times, incidence of leakage and ileus were nearly the same in each period. The 5-year survival rates on Dukes' C cases were 100% in period 4, 82.4% in period 3 and 50% in period 2. Survival rates became better. Our net outcome for rectal cancer treatment was satisfactory, because the survival rates became better under function preserving strategies.
