- Abstract
Purpose: Mucosal prolapse at the site of anastomosis is a long-term complication unique to ISR. It reduces the QOL of patients due to a worsened anal function and local symptoms around the anus. We herein sought to assess the surgical outcomes after Delorme surgery for these patients. Methods: ISR was performed in 720 patients with low rectal cancer between January 2001 and March 2019 at the National Cancer Center Hospital East. Among these patients, the 33 (4.5%) who underwent initial Delorme surgery for postoperative colonic mucosal prolapse were identified from the medical records and then were analyzed retrospectively. We estimated the anal function using Wexner's incontinence score and assessed whether local anal symptoms due to the prolapse improved postoperatively. Results: Stoma closure was performed before Delorme surgery in 15 (45.5%) patients, and we compared the preoperative and postoperative anal function in these patients. The average Wexner's incontinence score changed from 15.1 before to 12.9 after Delorme surgery. Local symptoms around the anus improved in all 33 (100%) patients. Recurrence of colonic mucosal prolapse occurred in 5 patients (15%), and Delorme surgery was reperformed in these cases. Conclusion: Delorme surgery for colonic mucosal prolapse following ISR has clinical benefits for both improving anal local symptoms and slightly improving the anal function.
