Overview

Systematic review assesses sphincter-preserving surgical techniques in low rectal cancer, highlighting improved recovery outcomes and ongoing challenges.

Key Points

  • Low rectal cancer is a significant global health issue, with 1.9 million cases in 2020.
  • Sphincter-preserving surgical techniques improve outcomes but may still lead to complications such as low anterior resection syndrome.
  • Total mesorectal excision and neoadjuvant radiotherapy are critical in managing treatment effectiveness and risk factors.
  • Future directions aim to enhance individualized treatment strategies while prioritizing both oncological safety and functional outcomes.
