Purpose: Increasing importance has been attributed in recent years to the preservation of the pelvic autonomic nerves during rectal resection to achieve better functional results. In addition to improved surgical techniques, intraoperative neuromonitoring may be useful. Methods: This single-arm prospective…

Autonome Beckennerven sind bei viszeralchirurgischen Eingriffen im Bereich des kleinen Beckens wie beispielsweise Rektumresektionen bei Rektumkarzinom einem sehr hohen Risiko der intraoperativen iatrogenen Schädigung ausgesetzt. Die Folgen von Schädigungen der Beckennerven sind postoperativ auftretende…
It has been found that rectal surgery still leads to high rates of postoperative urinary, fecal, or sexual dysfunction, which is why nerve-sparing surgery has gained increasing importance.
