Abstract

Rectal cancer is common in digestive system malignant tumors. The effect of surgical treatment for patients with rectal cancer is influenced by the anatomical characteristics of pelvis. Narrow pelvic space increases the difficulty in surgery and the incidence of postoperative complications including anastomotic leakage. The study on difficulty in rectal cancer surgery due to pelvic anatomy and risk factors for postoperative anastomotic leakage was reviewed in this article.

Key words： Pelvic anatomy; Rectal cancer; Low anterior resection; Anastomotic leakage
