Complications of laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery

Abstract: Laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery has widely been adopted over the past decade. With technical advances, data have shown equivalent outcomes with open surgery. In this paper, we discuss the potential complications of laparoscopic anterior resection, the need for early recognition and prompt management.

“…Besides, the usual risks of surgery such as major blood loss and infections, colectomy might lead to serious tissue damage causing leakage of the anastomosis. [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] It is also worth mentioning that the risk of fecal and urinary incontinence after radiation therapy is high. 5,[20][21][22][23][24][25] Another problem associated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy is tissue toxicity as both cancerous and healthy cells are affected.…”

“…The risk of erectile dysfunction in transabdominal repair of rectal prolapse has been partly attributed to injury to the periprostatic nerves that occurs during anterior mobilization of the rectum. The risk of ejaculatory disorder in other rectal surgeries is up to 60% [47, 48]. Men with rectal prolapse often have a deep rectovesical pouch that is likely to extend below the level of the nerves, minimizing the risk of damage to the periprostatic nerves [47].…”

“…Furthermore, the consequences of failed endoscopic cure include consideration of the most hazardous and complicated forms of colorectal surgery, including permanent ostomy formation [41]. Patients with rectal lesions removed using a low or ultra-low anterior resection have an increased risk of incontinence (12%) [42] and sexual dysfunction (20-46%) [43], and a 10-20% risk of permanent stoma [44,45]. Low anterior resection has a 30-day morbidity and mortality of 25% and 6%, respectively [46].…”
