PY - 2022 T2 - Zollinger’s Atlas of Surgical Operations, 11e 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.
