- W2314241471 abstract "BACKGROUND: It is widely believed that quality of life is worse after abdominoperineal excision then after low anterior resection. However, this view is not supported unequivocally. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare quality of life in patients 1 year following low anterior resection and abdominoperineal excision for low rectal cancer. DESIGN: Data were collected prospectively on 62 patients undergoing low anterior resection (32) and abdominoperineal excision (30) for low rectal adenocarcinoma within 6 cm of the anal verge. Patients with metastatic disease were excluded. Quality of life was assessed by the use of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer's QLQ-C30 and QLQ-CR38 modules and Coloplast stoma quality-of-life questionnaire. Bowel function was assessed by using the St Mark's bowel function questionnaire. Quality of life in patients who had low anterior resection was compared with those who had abdominoperineal excision both preoperatively and 1 year after surgery. SETTINGS: This study was conducted at 3 centers in the United Kingdom and 1 center in Europe. PATIENTS: Included were consecutive patients with rectal cancer within 6 cm of the anal verge, all of whom provided written consent for participation. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Mann-Whitney U test comparisons of QLQ-C30 and QLQ-CR38 module scores for patients undergoing low anterior resection and abdominoperineal excision were the main outcomes measured. RESULTS: Patients undergoing low anterior resection were younger (median age, 59.5 vs 67, p = 0.03) with higher tumors (4 vs 3, p < 0.001) and less likely to receive neoadjuvant therapy (p = 0.02). At 1 year postoperatively, global quality-of-life ratings were comparable, but patients undergoing abdominoperineal excision reported better cognitive (100 vs 83, p = 0.018) and social (100 vs 67, p = 0.012) function, and less symptomatology with respect to pain (0 vs 17, p = 0.027), sleep disturbance (0 vs 33, p = 0.013), diarrhea (0 vs 33, p = 0.017), and constipation (p = 0.021). Patients undergoing low anterior resection reported better sexual function (33 vs 0, p = 0.006), but 72% experienced a degree of fecal incontinence. LIMITATIONS: This study was limited by its relatively small sample size. CONCLUSION: Abdominoperineal excision should not be regarded as an operation that is inferior to low anterior resection in the management of low rectal cancer on the basis of quality of life alone." @default.
