When conducted as a curative procedure, for tumors with a lower pole at least 7 cm from the anal margin, Babcock's operation can avoid the need for a definitive abdominal colostomy in some patients, without compromising the chances of survival. Postoperative care is often longer and more difficult than after abdomino-perineal amputation, but immediate mortality and long-term survival appear to be totally comparable. Functional results are good in most cases, and though some hygienic and dietary restrictions are often necessary, these constitute a more minor handicap than that of an abdominal colostomy. On the contrary, Babcocks operation should not be used as a palliative measure, as important restrictive postoperative conditions on a patient with a short survival prognosis, to obtain a functional result after several months when he will not be able to benefit from it, appears to be unwarranted.
当作为一种根治性手术进行时，对于下极距肛缘至少7厘米的肿瘤，巴布科克手术在某些患者中可避免进行永久性腹部结肠造口术，且不影响生存几率。术后护理通常比经腹会阴截肢术后的护理时间更长、难度更大，但即时死亡率和长期生存率似乎完全可比。大多数情况下功能结果良好，虽然通常需要一些卫生和饮食限制，但这些带来的不便比腹部结肠造口术要小。相反，巴布科克手术不应作为一种姑息性措施，因为对于生存预后较短的患者，术后会出现重要的限制性状况，而在患者几个月后无法从中受益时才获得功能结果，这似乎是不合理的。
