Among these, 42 received anal preserving surgery (35 with Dixon,3 with Parks and 4 with transanal operations). The local recurrence and survival rates in the above operationswere compared with those of the Miles operation in another 56 patients with rectal cancer. Results: The localrecurrence and 3-, 5-year survival rates of anal preserving surgery were 16.7%, 64.3% and 52.4%, those of Milesoperations were 16.1%, 67.9% and 51.8% respectively (P>0.05). Conclusion: Anal preserving surgery for agedpeople with low rectal cancer is not inferior to conventional operations in China, with satisfactory long termsurvival and comparable local recurrence rates.}, keywords = {rectal cancer,Surgery,anal preserving surgery,aged Chinese patients}, url = {https://journal.waocp.org/article_26473.html}, eprint = {https://journal.waocp.org/article_26473_2a13d4758fd68b61a897dc238ae87290.pdf} }
