Pelvic Peritonization After Abdominoperineal Resection

Objectives: The purpose of this research is to assess the reduction of postoperative morbidity with pelvic peritoinzation following abdominoperineal excision. Background: The most effective treatment for low rectal cancer is abdominoperineal excision. Nonetheless, there are reports of a significant rate of postoperative morbidity and mortality. Methods: This research examines the medical records of cases who visited Menoufia University Hospital's Department of General Surgery and had an abdominoperineal resection for low rectal cancer over the three years between 2019 and 2022. Six months' worth of follow-up data were logged and examined. Results: Complication rates for perineal surgical site infection, delayed (> 4 weeks) perineal wound healing, perineal hernia, and post-operative ileus were 6.67%, 3.3%, 3.3%, and 6.67%, respectively, over a mean follow-up time of 6 months. It is thought to be better than published information on abdominoperineal excision postoperative problems. Conclusion: Following abdominoperineal excision, pelvic peritonization is a useful strategy for lowering post-operative morbidity.
