TLDR
Urinary dysfunction may result from damage to the nerve supply during pelvic dissection or by the anatomical changes created by altering the physical structure of the pelvis after appropriate oncologic resection of rectal cancer adhering to globally accepted tenets of total mesorectal excision.Abstract:
Urinary dysfunction may result from damage to the nerve supply during pelvic dissection or by the anatomical changes created by altering the physical structure of the pelvis. This problem may occur after appropriate oncologic resection of rectal cancer adhering to the globally accepted tenets of total mesorectal excision with either anterior resection or abdominoperineal resection. The most frequent type of urinary dysfunction is urinary retention, a transient problem which occurs in up to 25 % of men and 15 % of women. Fortunately, more severe chronic dysfunctions including voiding difficulty and incontinence are less common. Laparoscopy may confer a protective benefit although definitive evidence of a lower rate of dysfunction as compared to laparotomy remains elusive.read more

Continuous intraoperative monitoring of pelvic autonomic nerves during TME to prevent urogenital and anorectal dysfunction in rectal cancer patients (NEUROS): a randomized controlled trial
TL;DR: This study will provide high quality evidence on the efficacy of pIONM aiming for improvement of functional outcome in rectal cancer patients undergoing total mesorectal excision (TME).

Electrophysiology-based quality assurance of nerve-sparing in laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery: Is it worth the effort?
TL;DR: LNM is an appropriate method for reliable quality assurance of laparoscopic nerve-sparing in sexually active patients and for prediction of sexual function, sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value, and overall accuracy were each 100 %.

TL;DR: In this article, the role of pelvic intraoperative neuromonitoring (pIONM) in rectal cancer surgery was evaluated and a systematic review of the literature and a meta-analysis were conducted according to the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions.

Pelvic Intraoperative Neuromonitoring Prevents Dysfunction in Patients With Rectal Cancer
TL;DR: The NEUROmonitoring System (NEUROS) trial as mentioned in this paper assessed whether pelvic intraoperative neuromonitoring (pIONM) could improve urogenital and ano-(neo-)rectal functional outcomes in patients who underwent total mesorectal excisions (TMEs) for rectal cancer.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted a multicenter, randomized trial to determine whether the addition of preoperative radiotherapy increases the benefit of total mesorectal excision, and the overall rate of survival at two years among the eligible patients was 82.0 percent in the group assigned to both radiotherapy and surgery.

Recurrence and survival after total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer.

TL;DR: On this evidence, it is often safe to limit mural clearance and thus preserve the anal sphincters, provided that the mesorectum is excised intact with the cancer.
The Basingstoke Experience of Total Mesorectal Excision, 1978-1997
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors showed that rectal cancer can be cured by surgical therapy alone in 2 of 3 patients undergoing surgical excision in all stages and in 4 of 5 patients having curative resections.

Rectal Cancer: The Basingstoke Experience of Total Mesorectal Excision, 1978-1997
TL;DR: Rectal cancer can be cured by surgical therapy alone in 2 of 3 patients undergoing surgical excision in all stages and in 4 of 5 patients having curative resections, suggesting strategies should incorporate total mesorectal excision as the surgical procedure of choice.

Prevalence of Male and Female Sexual Dysfunction Is High Following Surgery for Rectal Cancer

TL;DR: Sexual problems after surgery for rectal cancer are common, multifactorial, inadequately discussed, and untreated, and efforts to prevent and treat it should be increased.
