An abdominoperineal resection is completed in 4 main steps.

Abdominoperineal resection, if cancer remains or comes back after treatment with radiation therapy and chemotherapy.

Stage I anal cancer was formerly treated with abdominoperineal resection.

Otherwise, standard therapy includes abdominoperineal resection.

Abdominoperineal resection .

Radiation appeared to improve survival among patients younger than 60 years, as well as among patients who received abdominoperineal resection.

LARs, generally, give a better quality of life than abdominoperineal resections (APRs).

In 1974, a reversible encephalopathy was noted and examined in four colon cancer patients taking bismuth subgallate after abdominoperineal resection.

Treatment of anal cancer that recurs after standard chemoradiation therapy often consists of abdominoperineal resection of the tumor.

Yeager ES, Van Heerden JA: Sexual dysfunction following proctocolectomy and abdominoperineal resection.

Wide surgical resection with abdominoperineal resection (APR) for lesions too distal to permit LAR.

TME via abdominoperineal resection (APR) for patients who are not candidates for sphincter-preserving operations, leaving patients with a permanent end-colostomy.

The second procedure went smoothly (as the fluid and electrolyte problems remained controlled after laser and radiotherapy treatment), an abdominoperineal resection was performed and the patient remains well six months later.

Abdominoperineal resection leading to permanent colostomy was previously thought to be required for all but small anal cancers below the dentate line, with approximately 70% of patients surviving 5 or more years in single institutions,[1] but such surgery is no longer the treatment of choice.

Radiation therapy plus chemotherapy (as described for stage II) with surgical resection of residual disease at the primary site (local resection or abdominoperineal resection) and unilateral or bilateral superficial and deep inguinal node dissection for residual or recurrent tumor.
