In order to study the behaviour of rectal cancer in our country, we have reviewed our experience at AUBMC over a 10-year period. We had 82 patients with rectal cancer, 36 males and 46 females, out of which 69 patients underwent surgical resection. Epidemiologically we have a significantly higher incidence of rectal cancer among females in contrast to western countries. Our operative results with respect to morbidity, mortality, recurrence and survival are discussed and compared to the literature. |
