  • Title: [Low colorectal anastomosis by the anterior perineal approach. 29 cases].
    Author: Bricot R, Le Treut YP, Kadji CA, Bardot J, Rodde JM.
    Journal: Presse Med; 1985 Dec 14; 14(43):2190-2. PubMed ID: 2934722.
    Abstract:
    Using the combined abdominoperineal approach to the rectum through the recto-genital space, very low colo-rectal anastomosis can be performed without damaging the anal sphincter. Twenty-nine patients were operated upon by this procedure for malignant or benign disease of the lower two-thirds of the rectum: there was 2 failure; 6 patients developed transient perineal fistula; 27 patients now have normal anal continence. This technique has been considerably facilitated, notably in males, by stapled anastomosis.
