Rectal anatomy is one of the most challenging concepts of visceral anatomy, even though currently there are more than 23,000 papers indexed in PubMed regarding this topic. Nonetheless, even though there is a plethora of information meant to assist clinicians to achieve a better practice, there is no universal understanding of its complexity. This in turn increases the morbidity rates due to iatrogenic causes, as mistakes that could be avoided are repeated. For this reason, this review attempts to gather current knowledge regarding the detailed anatomy of the rectum and to organize and present it in a manner that focuses on its clinical implications, not only for the colorectal surgeon, but most importantly for all colorectal cancer-related specialties.
直肠解剖是内脏解剖学中最具挑战性的概念之一，尽管目前在PubMed上有超过23000篇关于该主题的论文被索引。然而，尽管有大量信息旨在帮助临床医生提高实践水平，但对于其复杂性仍没有普遍的认识。这反过来又增加了医源性原因导致的发病率，因为本可避免的错误不断重复。因此，本综述试图收集有关直肠详细解剖的当前知识，并以一种不仅关注结直肠外科医生，更重要的是关注所有与结直肠癌相关专业的临床意义的方式进行整理和呈现。
