NCT02196597

Brief Summary

Background: High prevalence of fecal incontinence after rectal resection in patients with rectal carcinoma. Hypothesis: Anorectal manometry done before ileostomy or sigmoidostomy closure can predict fecal incontinence. Methods: Anorectal manometry before, 1 month and 6 month after closure. Anorectal endosonography before and 1 month after closure. Prediction of postoperative incontinence by the surgeon (digital sphincter examination). Visual analog scales for continence, subjective success of operation, and global well being; Wexner and Vaizey incontinence score; Parks incontinence classification; Rockwood fecal incontinence quality of life score; each before, 1 and 6 month after closure.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • predictive value of preoperative anorectal manometry for postoperative fecal incontinence

    Anorectal manometry is done preoperatively. Fecal incontinence is determined at 6 month postoperatively. Analysis of correlation between preoperative manometry parameter and incidence of postoperative fecal incontinence.

    6 month postoperative

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • fecal incontinence in patients with/without neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy

    six month postoperative

  • predictive value of the surgeon's preoperative evaluation

    six month postoperative

Other Outcomes (1)

  • prediction of postoperative fecal incontinence by the score of Stadelmaier and Matzel (Score =18.230 - 0.94x anastomotic level - 0.18 x resting pressure + 3.72 x radiochemotherapy (done 1, not done 0)

    six month postoperative

Study Arms (2)

resection with RCT

rectal resection in the case of rectal carcinoma with preoperative radiochemotherapy

resection without RCT

patients with rectal resection without preoperative radiochemotherapy
