Description

Abdominoperineal resections are performed for the management of very low rectal cancer, salvage treatment for anal cancer, and management of inflammatory bowel disease. With removal of the pelvic viscera and a variable portion of the pelvic floor, as well as the preoperative use of radiation, patients are at risk for a unique set of complications compared with those undergoing more proximal colorectal resections. This webinar will focus on the evaluation, management, and prevention of complications, including perineal hernias, chronic sinuses, and parastomal hernias.
