Rectal cancer begins in the rectum, the lower part of the digestive tract and may cause symptoms such as a change in bowel habits (diarrhea, constipation), blood in stool, abdominal pain, unexplained weight loss, fatigue, etc.
Sphincter Preservation Surgery for Rectal Cancer helps to completely remove the rectal tumour and preserve the continuity of the bowel tissue and the functioning of the anal sphincter.
This procedure is advantageous in the fact that it helps to spare the sphincters, the muscle rings that help to control bowel movement and reduce the risk of permanent colostomy.
Mrs. Sahra Ismail Jibril from Somaliland successfully underwent Sphincter Preservation Surgery for Rectal Cancer at Yashoda Hospitals, Hyderabad, under the supervision of Dr. Sachin Marda, Senior Consultant Oncologist & Robotic Surgeon (Cancer Specialist).
