This review summarizes the recent literature on alternative surgical procedures for treating rectal carcinoma. After a brief examination of publications on preoperative staging, current reports on alternative surgical procedures, from local excision to anterior resection and extended resection, are discussed. Although radiotherapy and chemotherapy are assuming increasingly prominent roles in the management of rectal carcinoma, detailed examination of these therapies is beyond the scope of this review.
本综述总结了近期关于直肠癌替代手术方法的文献。在简要考察了术前分期的相关出版物后，讨论了从局部切除到前切除术及扩大切除术等替代手术方法的当前报告。尽管放疗和化疗在直肠癌治疗中发挥着越来越重要的作用，但对这些疗法的详细考察超出了本综述的范围。
