Surgical Management

LOW ANTERIOR RESECTION (LAR)
The higher portion of the rectum is where the cancerous part is excised. Additionally, lymph nodes and some healthy tissue are taken out for analysis. After that, the colon and rectum are rejoined. To facilitate recovery, a temporary ileostomy may occasionally be performed.

Abdominal Perineal Resection (Apr)

Anus, the anal sphincter, and surrounding tissue are removed during an abdominal- perineal resection (APR). A permanent colostomy is required.

Proctectomy With Colo-Anal Anastomosis

In this procedure,the whole rectum is removed, directly joining the colon to the anus.

Sometimes, surgeons will use a portion of the colon to form a pseudo rectum, which will serve as a storage area for feces before they leave the body. In rare circumstances, a temporary ileostomy is required.

Diverting Colostomy

A colostomy that is inserted above a tumor in the GI tract can be used to treat a rectal obstruction.
