Objective  To investigate the prevention of gangrene of exteriorized colon following transabdomino-perineal saving sphincter resection of rectal cancer.
Methods  From Aug. 1988 to Feb. 2000, 46 cases of cancer of the rectum were treated by transabdominoperineal saving sphincter with severing the anal sphincters and anorectal ring. During this procedure the anal sphincters and anorectal ring were severed to prevent gangrene of the exteriorized colon.
