摘要

Our postsurgical complications, recovered without reinterventions, were higher than in previously published studies due to a higher percentage of locally advanced rectal cancer needing an abdominal-perineal resection (20% vs. 11%-15%) (3, 4) and hence were commensurate with published data (5, 6). If a possible role for capecitabine is not excluded, the typology/entity of such complications do not arouse major interest.
