Sponsor's own description

The aim of the present study is to assess if it is possible to offer intersphincteric rectal resection (IRR) to selected patients older than 70 years affected by ultra-low rectal cancer. The study, involving patients with rectal cancer at less than 5 cm from the anal verge, will compare elderly patients refusing standard sphincteric demolition and undergoing IRR, with some control groups (younger patients undergoing IRR, \>70 years old patients undergoing abdominoperineal resection + colostomy in left iliac fossa, \>70 years old patients undergoing abdominoperineal resection + perineal colostomy). The groups will be compared in terms of quality of life, quality of life associated to incontinence, overall survival, disease free survival and post-operative complications. This will be helpful to identify conditions for extending IRR to elderly patients. The study is run by Colo-rectal Surgery Unit at Policlinico San Matteo in Pavia (Italy) from 2009 to 2016, directly led by Dr. Sandro Zonta (principal investigator) and funded by the hospital itself.
