  • Evaluation of Anal Function in Patients with Rectal Carcinoma After Low Anastomosis Operation

    Objective To evaluate anal function in patients with rectal carcinoma after low anastomosis operation. Methods Five hundred and forty-one patients with low rectal carcinoma were followed up for 1-3 years to assess anal function after low or ultra-low Dixon anastomosis. The evaluation was based on Xu Zhong-fa Assessment Criteria of Anal Function, anastomotic position and time-to-operation. Defecation function training and rehabilitation instructions were administered after the operation. Results The evaluation of defecation function showed that in the low Dixon operation group, 75.8%(211/278) scored “excellent”, 11.8%(33/278) scored “good”, 10.1%(28/278) scored “fair” and 2.2%(6/278) scored “poor”. In the ultra-low Dixon operation group, 70.7%(186/263) scored “excellent”, 13.3%(35/263) scored “good”, 10.6% (28/263) scored “fair”, and 5.3%(14/263) scored “poor”. No statistical difference was found between the low and ultra-low Dixon groups in this evaluation (Z= –1.429,P=0.136). However, there was statistical difference in the “awareness of defecation”(Z= –4.610,P=0.000) and “sense of defecation” (Z= –5.252, P=0.000) domains between the two groups. The defecation functions were similar between the low and the ultra-low Dixon operation groups after 6-month post-operation training(Z= –0.550, P=0.582). Conclusions There is no difference in defecation function between low and ultra-low Dixon anastomotic operation patients with rectal carcinoma by nursing.
