A prospective video-controlled study of genito-urinary disorders in 35 consecutive laparoscopic TMEs for rectal cancer

摘要

Genito-urinary disorders (GUD) for radical rectal cancer surgery range from 10 to 30 %. In this study, primary endpoint is to prospectively assess their incidence in patients undergoing Laparoscopic Total Mesorectal Excision (LTME) without neoadjuvant chemo-radiation (NCR). Secondary endpoint is to detect the potential lesion site evaluating video-recordings of surgery.
