AB Abdominoperineal  resection  of  the  lower  bowel  is  the  operation  of  choice  for  very  low  rectal  malignancies  that  involve  the  sphincter  complex  or  cannot  be  removed  with  a  2-cm  distal  margin.  In  special  circumstances,  young  patients  may  be  candidates  for  a  coloanal  anastomosis,  whereas  others  may  be  candidates  for  local  wide  excision  and  adjuvant  treatment  for  low-grade  superficial  lesions.  The  surgeon  must  be  familiar  with  all  methods,  including  resection  of  the  tumor  and  anastomosis  of  the  intestine  within  the  hollow  of  the  sacrum.
