Multicenter Study on Postoperative Urinary and Sexual Function During Laparoscopic Functional Total Mesorectum Excision
Sponsor: Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University
Summary
Urinary and sexual dysfunctions are among the most common complications in rectal cancer surgery. The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effect of laparoscopic functional total mesorectum excision (FTME) on urinary and sexual function in male patients with mid-low rectal cancer. This is a prospective, single-arm, multicenter, uncontrolled, clinical study in 88 eligible subjects with mid-low rectal cancer. After informed consent, eligible patients will be performed laparoscopic FTME surgery. Patients' demographic, operative detail, postoperative outcomes and follow-up will be recorded prospectively.

Laparoscopic FTME surgery
Nerve plane was defined as the overlying tiny membranous tissue including the nerves, the adipose tissue and the extremely tiny capillaries around the nerve. Following the TME principles, the surgical procedure of FTME was guided by the nerve plane and dissected between the proper fascia of the rectum and nerve plane (the first gap), which could ensure completeness of the nerve plane and the proper fascia of the rectum.
