Perioperative and Postoperative Evaluation of Rectal and Urogenital Function in Patients Undergoing Rectal Resection

Sex: All

Ages: 18 Years – N/A

Healthy volunteers: No

Enrollment: 500

Sponsor: Technische Universität Dresden

Location: Department of Gastrointestinal-, Thoracic and Vascular Surgery University Hospital Carl Gustav Carus Technische Universität Dresden Dresden Saxony

Summary

The aim of this study is the systematic analysis of the development of perioperative rectal and urogenital function in patients undergoing rectal resection with total mesorectal excision and the identification of risk factors for urogenital and sphincter function loss after this procedure. Knowledge of the corresponding risk factors could enable the identification of patient cohorts that could benefit from an intensified or altered postoperative treatment path. The results of this study could thus significantly influence the clinical management of patients with rectal cancer and improve the functional outcome in the long term.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients undergoing rectal resection with total mesorectal excision Exclusion Criteria: * primary or secondary removal of rectal sphincter apparatus * patients with enterostomy persisting 12 months after initial rectal resection
