Description
The aim of this study was to identify what factors influenced anal function after intersphincteric resection (ISR) following preoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT). We evaluated postoperative anal function in 205 patients with very lower rectal cancer who underwent intersphincteric resection by having questionnaires, Wexner score and Manometry. Wexner Score of >16 was used as a cutoff value of poor anal function. In the multivariate analysis, preoperative CRT was the predictor of poor anal function after ISR. Preoperative CRT is associated with poor anal function after ISR. (author)
