3rd yr PGT
Weeks of Development
• 3rd : gut tube- foregut, midgut , hindgut
• 6th : cloaca- anterior urogenital and
post. anal & sphincter elements
• 10th : external anal sphincter- from
posterior cloaca
• 12th : internal anal sphincter from enlarged
circular muscles of rectum
Rectum – grossly
• 12 – 15 cm in length
• Lacks taenia coli & epiploic appendices
• Posterior surface – extraperitoneal
Extent of rectum : controversial
Proximal
Extent
1. Recto-sigmoid junction at sacral promontory
2. Point where taenia converge
Distal
extent
1. Dentate line ( anatomist )
2. Proximal border of anal sphincter
( surgeons )

Epicolic Along bowel wall and epoploic appendices

TNM classifiaction
APR : History
• Jean Amusat : introduced colostomy ( early 19th century)
• Early surgeons : 1st mini laparotomy to creat colostomy
several days later
Distal proctectomy through perineum
Limilations : 1. inability to remove mesorectum recurrence
2. high rate of perineal fistula
• W Ernest Miles : modern APR ( 1908 )
• One stage – abdominal colostomy
Removal of :
• Entire pelvic colon + rectum
• Pelvic mesocolon below common iliac artery
• LN at bifurcation of common iliac artery
• Anus
• Ischiorectal fat
• Levator muscles
Symptoms of ca Rectum
• Hematochezia
• Mucus discharge
• Tenesmus
• Change in bowel habits
D/D
• Ulcerative colitis
• Crohn’s proctocolitis
• Radiation proctitis
• Procidentia
• Colitis cystica profunda
Operations of Ca Rectum
• Local excision – T1 / palliative
• Transanal Endoscopic Microsurgery
• Fulguration
• Abdomino Perineal Resection
• Anterior resection (ant. Proctosigmoidectomy with colorectal anasto.)
• Sphincter sparing APR with Coloanal anastomosis
• Hartman’s operation
Margins
• optimal distal resection margin : controversial
• Although the 1st line of spread is upward along the lymphatics, tumors
below the peritoneal refection can spread distally via intra- or
extramural lymphatic and vascular routes.
• APR : for low rectal cancers traditionally -- 5-cm distal margin
• Distal intramural spread limited to within 2cm unless poorly
differentiated or widely metastatic
• So, 2-cm distal margin is acceptable , although a 5-cm proximal margin
is still recommended.
• The circumferential radial margin (CRM) is more critical than the
proximal or distal margin for local control.
Patient Selection and choice of Operation
• Tumors < 3 cm from the dentate line , not invading the sphincters :
transanal procedure.
• 5 cm from the dentate line : transcoccygeal approach or transanal
endoscopic microsurgery (TEM).
• 7–10 cm from the dentate line : TEM or LAR.
• Tumors tethered to the mesorectum or pelvic floor , S/O transmural
involvement, are not amenable to local excision. Patients with such lesions
should undergo preoperative radiation followed by a radical resection.
? ? Bowel preparation:
• Standard: Clear-liquid diet 1–3 days prior to surgery,
Laxatives and/or enemas, and
GIT irrigation with polyethylene glycol electrolyte lavage
or saline
• Advantage : Easier manipulation of the colon and rectum
Reduce peri- operative infection
• Elevated s/Cr or CCF - avoid the magnesium citrate preparation,
• Gastroparesis- avoid polyethylene glycol
• Oral antibiotics : decrease post-operative infectious
• MC regimen : Nichols/Condon preparation:
neomycin 1 g + erythromycin 1 g,
both non-absorbable antibiotics,
by mouth at 1 , 2 & 10:00 pm on the day prior to surgery
( Many substitute metronidazole 500 mg for the erythromycin )
