  • Title: [Urogenital complications of abdominoperineal resection of the rectum for cancer].
    Author: Boccon-Gibod L, Chiche R, Steg A.
    Journal: Ann Urol (Paris); 1984 May; 18(3):169-71. PubMed ID: 6529219.
    Abstract:
    While operative traumas of the excretory tract are rare, mictional and sexual sequelae often complicate rectal resections for cancer. Although relatively rare, mictional disorders, which mainly affect males, are as often neurogenic as obstructive, and are, in that event, frequently due to iatrogenic urethral stenoses. The neurogenic disorders require an extremely sensitive semiological analysis before contemplating the slightest procedure on the prostate, which may provoke definitive urinary incontinence. Retrograde ejaculation and impotence are frequent, and the latter can be attenuated by a penial prosthesis.
