Summary

Total mesorectal resection (TME) is the standard surgical method for locally advanced rectal cancer, which significantly reduces the local recurrence rate. However, the incidence of urogenital dysfunction is higher. Studies found that Denonvilliers' Fascia contains autonomic nerves that may regulate urogenital function, while traditional TME surgery resects part of it. Recent Studies found that complete preservation of Denonvilliers' Fascia could improve urogenital in selected patients with rectal cancer. Locally advanced patient (T3-4 and/or N+, M0) accounts for a high proportion of mid-low rectal cancer. However, whether these patients can benefit from it has not fully been demonstrated. This project conducts a multi-center randomized controlled study to evaluate the effects of complete preservation and partial preservation of Denonvilliers' Fascia on postoperative urogenital function of locally advanced non-anterior mid-low rectal cancer.
