The significance of the intraluminal lavage in the low anterior resection of the rectum was studied in 68 cases which were operated on for a rectal carcinoma during 1981 through 1991. These cases were divided into three groups by the anastomotic technique; double stapling technique (DST) in 19 cases, single stapling technique (SS) in 39 cases, and hand suture (HS) in 10 cases. No correlation was seen betweem the anastomosis recurrence and pathological findings such as tumor size, depth of invasion, oral and anal distance of free margin, histologic type of carcinoma, vascular invasions and lymph node metastasis. However, a strong correlation was observed between the anastomosis recurrence and anastomotic technique, showing the DST to be the most frequent method of anastomosis recurrence with a statistical significance (p |
